| 1st-Corinthians 14:1 | Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy, | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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; | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:3 | and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort; | But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:4 | he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify; | He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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? | 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? |
| 1st-Corinthians 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? | 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? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:8 | for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle? | For if the war-horn gives out an uncertain note, who will get ready for the fight? |
| 1st-Corinthians 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:10 | There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning, | There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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; | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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; | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:13 | wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue let him 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:14 | for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful. | For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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; | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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? | 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? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:17 | for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up! | For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:18 | I give thanks to my God more than you all with tongues speaking | I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all: |
| 1st-Corinthians 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:20 | Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect; | My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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;` | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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, | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 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? | 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? |
| 1st-Corinthians 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, | 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:26 | 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; | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:27 | 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 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: |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:28 | 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 is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:29 | And prophets let two or three speak, 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:30 | and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent; | But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:31 | for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:32 | and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject, | And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets; |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:33 | for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:34 | 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 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:35 | 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:36 | From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come? | What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you? |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:37 | 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 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:38 | and if any one is ignorant let him be ignorant; | But if any man is without knowledge, let him be so. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:39 | so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid; | So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues. |
| 1st-Corinthians 14:40 | let all things be done decently and in order. | Let all things be done in the right and ordered way. |
