| 1st-Corinthians 14:1 | 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. | 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. | Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. | Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:2 | 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. | 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 speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:3 | But he who prophesies speaks to men words of edification, encouragement and comfort. | But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength. | But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation. | But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:4 | He who speaks in an unknown tongue does good to himself, but he who prophesies does good to 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 speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. | He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:5 | 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. | 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. | Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up. | 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, 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? | 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? | But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of 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 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? | 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? | Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn't give a distinction in the sounds, how would 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 ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:8 | If the bugle to take another example gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? | For if the war-horn gives out an uncertain note, who will get ready for the fight? | For if the trumpet gave an uncertain voice, who would prepare himself for war? | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:9 | 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. | 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 you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:10 | There are, we will suppose, a great number of languages in the world, and no creature is without a language. | 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 without meaning. | There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:11 | 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. | 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 don't know the meaning of the voice, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:12 | Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit 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 you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly. | So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:13 | Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them. | 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. | Therefore let him who speaks in another language 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 an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is barren. | For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind. | For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:15 | 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. | 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 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, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:16 | 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? | 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? | Else if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't know what you say? | 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 | Rightly enough you are giving thanks, and yet your neighbor is not benefited. | For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge. | For you most assuredly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up. | For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:18 | I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you; | I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all: | I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all. | I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:19 | 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. | 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. | However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language. | 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, 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. | My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth. | Brothers, don't be children in mind, yet in malice be babies, but in mind be men. | 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 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." | 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 is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says 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 | 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. | 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. | Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:23 | 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? | 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 is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy? | 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 | 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, | 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; | But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged 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 | 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. | 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 thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. 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 manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:26 | 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. | 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 is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other 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 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; | 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 any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most 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 | or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking 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. | But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:29 | But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge. | And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say. | Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern. | And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:30 | And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent. | But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet. | But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. | But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:31 | For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged: | For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort; | For you all can prophesy one by one, 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 Prophets yield submission to Prophets. | And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets; | The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:33 | For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as He is in all the Churches of His people. | 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 confusion, 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 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; | 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. | let your women keep silence in the assemblies, for it is not permitted for them to speak; but let them 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:35 | 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. | 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. | If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the 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 | Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come? | What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you? | What? Was it from you that the word of God went forth? Or did it come to you alone? | Or did the word of God come out from you ? Or came it only unto you ? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:37 | 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. | 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 man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:38 | But if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant. | But if any man is without knowledge, let him be so. | But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. | But if any man know not, he shall not be known. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:39 | The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues; | So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues. | Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages. | Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:40 | only let everything be done in a becoming and orderly manner. | Let all things be done in the right and ordered way. | Let all things be done decently and in order. | But let all things be done decently, and according to order. |
