| 1st-Corinthians 14:1 | Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. | Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual [manifestations], but rather that ye may prophesy. | Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. | Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:2 | For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. | 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. | 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. | For he who speaks in an unknown tongue is not speaking to men, but to God; for no one understands him. Yet in the Spirit he is speaking secret truths. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:3 | But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. | But he that prophesies speaks to men [in] edification, and encouragement, and consolation. | But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort. | But he who prophesies speaks to men words of edification, encouragement and comfort. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:4 | He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. | He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies [the] assembly. | He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. | He who speaks in an unknown tongue does good to himself, but he who prophesies does good to the Church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:5 | I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. | 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. | 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. | I should be right glad were you all to speak in `tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in `tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:6 | Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? | 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? | 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? | But, brethren, as things are, if I come to you speaking in `tongues,' what benefit shall I confer on you, if the utterance is neither in the form of a revelation nor of additional knowledge nor of prophecy nor of teaching? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:7 | And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? | 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? | 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 ? | Even inanimate things flutes or harps, for instance when yielding a sound, if they make no distinction in the notes, how shall the tune which is played on the flute or the harp be known? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:8 | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? | For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war? | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle ? | If the bugle to take another example gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:9 | So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. | 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. | 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. | And so with you; if with the living voice you fail to utter intelligible words, how will people know what you are saying? You will be talking to the winds. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:10 | There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. | There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound. | There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. | There are, we will suppose, a great number of languages in the world, and no creature is without a language. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:11 | Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. | 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. | 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. | If, however, I do not know the meaning of the particular language, I shall seem to the speaker of it, and he to me, to be merely talking some foreign tongue. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:12 | Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. | Thus *ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly. | So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. | Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:13 | Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. | Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret. | And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. | Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:14 | For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit. | For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is barren. |
| 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 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. | 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. | How then does the matter stand? I will pray in spirit, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will praise God in spirit, and I will praise Him with my understanding also. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:16 | Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? | 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? | 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. | Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:17 | For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | For *thou* indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | Rightly enough you are giving thanks, and yet your neighbor is not benefited. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:18 | I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: | I thank God I speak in a tongue more than all of you: | I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. | I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you; |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:19 | Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. | 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. | 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. | but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others also than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:20 | Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. | Brethren, be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men]. | Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect. | Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:21 | In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. | 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. | 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. | In the Law it stands written, "`By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord." |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:22 | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. | 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. | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers. | This shows that the gift of tongues is intended as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but prophecy is intended not for unbelievers but for those who believe. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:23 | If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? | 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? | 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 ? | Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:24 | But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: | But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple [person] come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of 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. | If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all, |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:25 | And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. | 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. | 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. | and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:26 | How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. | 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. | 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. | What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:27 | If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. | If any one speak with a tongue, [let it be] two, or at the most three, and separately, 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. | If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should 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 be no interpreter, let him be silent in [the] assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God. | But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God. | or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:29 | Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. | And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. | And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge. | But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:30 | If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. | But if there be a revelation to another sitting [there], let the first be silent. | But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. | And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:31 | For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. | For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged. | For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted: | For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged: |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:32 | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. | And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. | and the spirits of Prophets yield submission to Prophets. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:33 | For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. | For God is not [a God] of disorder 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. | For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as He is in all the Churches of His people. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:34 | Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. | 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. | Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. | Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says; |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:35 | And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. | 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. | 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. | and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:36 | What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? | Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only? | Or did the word of God come out from you ? Or came it only unto you ? | Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:37 | If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. | 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. | 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. | If any one deems himself to be a Prophet or a man with spiritual gifts, let him recognize as the Lord's command all that I am now writing to you. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:38 | But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. | But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant. | But if any man know not, he shall not be known. | But if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:39 | Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. | So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues. | Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues. | The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues; |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:40 | Let all things be done decently and in order. | But let all things be done comelily and with order. | But let all things be done decently, and according to order. | only let everything be done in a becoming and orderly manner. |
