(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
1
Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual manifestations, but rather that ye may prophesy.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
2
For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
3
But he that prophesies speaks to men in edification, and encouragement, and consolation.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
4
He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the assembly.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
5
Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
6
And now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
7
Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
8
For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
9
Thus also ye with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
10
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
11
If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
12
Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
13
Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
14
For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
16
Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
19
but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
20
Brethren, be not children in your minds, but in malice be babes; but in your minds be grown men.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
21
It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
22
So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
23
If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
24
But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple person come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
25
the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon his face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
26
What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
27
If any one speak with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
28
but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
30
But if there be a revelation to another sitting there, let the first be silent.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
31
For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
34
Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
35
But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
37
If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is the Lord's commandment.
(DB)
1 Corinthians
14
:
39
So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.
