Sept. 18
1 Corinthians 14
1Co 14:1 Follow after
love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you
may prophesy.
1Co 14:2 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.
1Co 14:3 But he who
prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and
consolation.
1Co 14:4 He who speaks
in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies
the assembly.
1Co 14:5 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.
1Co 14:6 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?
1Co 14:7 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?
1Co 14:8 For if the
trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
1Co 14:9 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.
1Co 14:10 There are, it
may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is
without meaning.
1Co 14:11 If then I
don't know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a
foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
1Co 14:12 So also you,
since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound
to the building up of the assembly.
1Co 14:13 Therefore let
him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
1Co 14:14 For if I pray
in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is
unfruitful.
1Co 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.
1Co 14:16 Otherwise 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?
1Co 14:17 For you most
certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
1Co 14:18 I thank my
God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
1Co 14:19 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.
1Co 14:20 Brothers,
don't be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in
thoughts be mature.
1Co 14:21 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."
1Co 14:22 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.
1Co 14:23 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?
1Co 14:24 But if all
prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is
reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
1Co 14:25 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.
1Co 14:26 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.
1Co 14:27 If any man
speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and
in turn; and let one interpret.
1Co 14:28 But if there
is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him
speak to himself, and to God.
1Co 14:29 Let the
prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
1Co 14:30 But if a
revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
1Co 14:31 For you all
can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.
1Co 14:32 The spirits
of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
1Co 14:33 for God is
not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the
saints,
1Co 14:34 let your
wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted
for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also
says.
1Co 14:35 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.
1Co 14:36 What? Was it
from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
1Co 14:37 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.
1Co 14:38 But if anyone
is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1Co 14:39 Therefore,
brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking
with other languages.
1Co 14:40 Let all
things be done decently and in order.

Corinthians 14 6
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?
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?
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?

Corinthians 14 7
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
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?
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?
1
Corinthians 14 8
For
if the trumpet gave an uncertain voice, who would prepare himself for
war?
For
also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare
himself for war?
for
if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare
himself for
battle?
1
Corinthians 14 9
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.
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
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.

Corinthians 14 10
There
are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
them is without meaning.
There
are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
undistinguishable
sound.
There
are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
them is
unmeaning,
1
Corinthians 14 11
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
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 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;
1
Corinthians 14 12
So
also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you
may abound to the building up
of the assembly.
Thus
*ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound
for the
edification
of the assembly.
so
also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the
building up of
the
assembly seek that ye may abound;
1
Corinthians 14 13
Therefore
let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Wherefore
let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.
wherefore
he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- let him pray that he
may
interpret;
1
Corinthians 14 14
For
if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, 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 an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my
understanding
is
unfruitful.
1
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
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;
1
Corinthians 14 16
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?
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?
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?
1
Corinthians 14 17
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.
for
thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!
1
Corinthians 14 18
I
thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
I
thank God I speak in a tongue more than all of you:
I
give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking --
1
Corinthians 14 19
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] 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 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.

Corinthians 14 20
Brothers,
don`t be children in mind, yet in malice be babies, but in mind be
men.
Brethren,
be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in
[your] minds be
grown [men].
Brethren,
become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye
babes,
and
in the understanding become ye perfect;

Corinthians 14 21
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."
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 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;`
1
Corinthians 14 22
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.
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.
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,
1
Corinthians 14 23
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 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 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?
1
Corinthians 14 24
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 some unbeliever or simple [person] come in, he
is convicted of
all,
he is judged of all;
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,
1
Corinthians 14 25
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 manifested; and thus, falling upon [his]
face, he will do
homage
to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you.
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.

Corinthians 14 26

home, for it is shameful for a
woman to chatter in the assembly.
But
if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at
