| 1st-Corinthians 14:1 | Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy. | Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power. | Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy, | Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:2 | For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. | For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things. | 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; | For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:3 | But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation. | But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength. | and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort; | But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:4 | He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. | He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church. | he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify; | He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:5 | Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. | Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church. | 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. | And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:6 | But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching? | But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching? | 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? | But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:7 | Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? | Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played? | 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? | Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:8 | For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? | For if the war-horn gives out an uncertain note, who will get ready for the fight? | for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle? | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:9 | So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air. | So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air. | 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. | So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said ? For you shall be speaking into the air. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:10 | There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification. | There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense. | There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning, | There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:11 | If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. | But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me. | 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; | If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:12 | So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. | So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church. | so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound; | So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:13 | Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. | For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense. | wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue let him pray that he may interpret; | And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind. | for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:15 | What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. | What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind. | 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; | What is it then ? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:16 | Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? | For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying? | 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? | Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing ? because he knoweth not what thou sayest. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:17 | For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge. | for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up! | For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:18 | I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all: | I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all: | I give thanks to my God more than you all with tongues speaking | I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:19 | howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. | But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue. | 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. | But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:20 | Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. | My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth. | Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect; | Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:21 | In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. | In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord. | 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;` | In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:22 | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe. | For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not. | 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, | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:23 | If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad? | If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced? | 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? | If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:24 | But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all; | But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all; | 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, | But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:25 | the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed. | The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you. | 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. | The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:26 | What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. | What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good. | What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up; | How is it then, brethren ? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:27 | If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret: | If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense: | if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret; | If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:28 | but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. | But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God. | and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God. | But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:29 | And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern. | And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say. | And prophets let two or three speak, and let the others discern, | And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:30 | But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. | But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet. | and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent; | But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:31 | For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted; | For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort; | for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted, | For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted: |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:32 | and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets; | And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets; | and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject, | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:33 | for God is not [a God] of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, | For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints. | for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. | For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:34 | let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. | Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law. | Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith; | Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:35 | And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. | And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman. | and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly. | But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:36 | What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone? | What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you? | From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come? | Or did the word of God come out from you ? Or came it only unto you ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:37 | If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. | If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord. | if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you that of the Lord they are commands; | If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord. |
