- 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.
|
- Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
- 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.
- But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
- He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
- 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, 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.
|
- 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 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?
- For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
- 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.
- There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
- Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
- Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
- For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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?
- For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
- I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
- 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.
