- Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
- For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
- But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
- One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.
- Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.
|
- Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
- For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
- But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
- He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
- I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
|
- But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
- Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?
- For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
- So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
- There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.
|
- Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
- Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
- Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
- So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
- Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
|
- If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.
- So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.
- Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
- For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
- What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.
|
- If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
- So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.
- For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says.
- For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
- So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
|
- Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
- For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified.
- I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all;
- however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
|
- If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
- You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
- I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
- But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
