1Corinthians:14:1 @
Pursue the love ,
and seek earnestly the spiritual things ,
and rather that ye may prophecy ,
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:2 @
for he who is speaking in an [
unknown ]
tongue --
to men he doth not speak ,
but to God ,
for no one doth hearken ,
and in spirit he doth speak secrets ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:3 @
and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification ,
and exhortation ,
and comfort ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:4 @
he who is speaking in an [
unknown ]
tongue ,
himself doth edify ,
and he who is prophesying ,
an assembly doth edify ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:5 @
and I wish you all to speak with tongues ,
and more that ye may prophecy ,
for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues ,
except one may interpret ,
that the assembly may receive edification .
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:6 @
And now ,
brethren ,
if I may come unto you speaking tongues ,
what shall I profit you ,
except I shall speak to you either in revelation ,
or in knowledge ,
or in prophesying ,
or in teaching ?
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:7 @
yet the things without life giving sound --
whether pipe or harp --
if a difference in the sounds they may not give ,
how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped ?
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:8 @
for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give ,
who shall prepare himself for battle ?
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:9 @
so also ye ,
if through the tongue ,
speech easily understood ye may not give --
how shall that which is spoken be known ?
for ye shall be speaking to air .
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:10 @
There are ,
it may be ,
so many kinds of voices in the world ,
and none of them is unmeaning ,
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:11 @
if ,
then ,
I do not know the power of the voice ,
I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner ,
and he who is speaking ,
is to me a foreigner ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:12 @
so also ye ,
since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts ,
for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:13 @
wherefore he who is speaking in an [
unknown ]
tongue --
let him pray that he may interpret ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:14 @
for if I pray in an [
unknown ]
tongue ,
my spirit doth pray ,
and my understanding is unfruitful .
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:15 @
What then is it ?
I will pray with the spirit ,
and I will pray also with the understanding ;
I will sing psalms with the spirit ,
and I will sing psalms also with the understanding ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:16 @
since ,
if thou mayest bless with the spirit ,
he who is filling the place of the unlearned ,
how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks ,
since what thou dost say he hath not known ?
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:17 @
for thou ,
indeed ,
dost give thanks well ,
but the other is not built up !
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:18 @
I give thanks to my God --
more than you all with tongues speaking --
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:19 @
but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding ,
that others also I may instruct ,
rather than myriads of words in an [
unknown ]
tongue .
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:20 @
Brethren ,
become not children in the understanding ,
but in the evil be ye babes ,
and in the understanding become ye perfect ;
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:21 @
in the law it hath been written ,
that , '
With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people ,
and not even so will they hear Me ,
saith the Lord ;'
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:22 @
so that the tongues are for a sign ,
not to the believing ,
but to the unbelieving ;
and the prophesy [
is ]
not for the unbelieving ,
but for the believing ,
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:23 @
If ,
therefore ,
the whole assembly may come together ,
to the same place ,
and all may speak with tongues ,
and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers ,
will they not say that ye are mad ?
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:24 @
and if all may prophecy ,
and any one may come in ,
an unbeliever or unlearned ,
he is convicted by all ,
he is discerned by all ,
ylt @
1Corinthians:14:25 @
and so the secrets of his heart become manifest ,
and so having fallen upon [
his ]
face ,
he will bow before God ,
declaring that God really is among you .
