Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual `gifts', but rather that ye may prophesy.

For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation. 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air. 
10 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no `kind' is without signification. 
11 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. 
12 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual `gifts', seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. 
13 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 
14 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 
15 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
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. 
16 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? 
17 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all: 
19 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 
20 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. 
21 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. 
22 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying `is for a sign', not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe. 
23 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad? 
24 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all; 
25 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed. 
26 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 
27 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
If any man speaketh in a tongue, `let it be' by two, or at the most three, and `that' in turn; and let one interpret: 
28 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 
29 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
And let the prophets speak `by' two or three, and let the others discern. 
30 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. 
31 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted; 
32 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets; 
33 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
for God is not `a God' of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, 
34 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. 
35 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. 
36 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone? 
37 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. 
38 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 
39 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 
40 
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData
But let all things be done decently and in order.
