1: Earnestly pursueG1377 -G3588 love;G0026 earnestly desireG2206 nowG1161 -G3588 spiritual gifts,G4152 especiallyG3123 nowG1161 thatG2443 you might prophesy.G4395

2: The [one]G3588 forG1063 speakingG2980 in a tongue,G1100 notG3756 to menG0444 speaks,G2980 butG0235 to God;G2316 no oneG3762 forG1063 hears;G0191 in the SpiritG4151 however,G1161 he uttersG2980 mysteries.G3466

3: The [one]G3588 howeverG1161 prophesying,G4395 to menG0444 speaks [for]G2980 edification,G3619 andG2532 encouragement,G3874 andG2532 consolation.G3889

4: The [one]G3588 speakingG2980 in a tongue,G1100 himselfG1438 edifies;G3618 the [one]G3588 howeverG1161 prophesying,G4395 [the] churchG1577 edifies.G3618

5: I desireG2309 nowG1161 allG3956 youG4771 to speakG2980 in tongues,G1100 ratherG3123 howeverG1161 thatG2443 you should prophesy;G4395 greater [is]G3173 nowG1161 the [one]G3588 prophesyingG4395 thanG2228 the [one]G3588 speakingG2980 in tongues,G1100 exceptG1622 ifG1487 notG3361 he should interpret,G1329 so thatG2443 theG3588 churchG1577 edificationG3619 might receive.G2983

6: NowG3568 howeverG1161 brothers,G0080 ifG1437 I should comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771 in tonguesG1100 speaking,G2980 whatG5101 youG4771 will I profit,G5623 ifG1437 notG3361 to youG4771 I should speakG2980 eitherG2228 inG1722 revelation,G0602 orG2228 inG1722 knowledge,G1108 orG2228 inG1722 prophecy,G4394 orG2228 inG1722 teaching?G1322

7: EvenG3676 -G3588 lifeless thingsG0895 a soundG5456 giving,G1325 whetherG1535 fluteG0836 orG1535 harp,G2788 ifG1437 distinctionG1293 to theG3588 soundsG5353 notG3361 they give,G1325 howG4459 will it be knownG1097 what [is]G3588 being pipedG0832 orG2228 -G3588 being harped?G2789

8: AlsoG2532 forG1063 ifG1437 indistinctG0082 [the] trumpetG4536 soundG5456 gives,G1325 whoG5101 will prepare himselfG3903 forG1519 battle?G4171

9: SoG3779 alsoG2532 you,G4771 withG1223 theG3588 tongueG1100 ifG1437 notG3361 intelligibleG2154 speechG3056 you give,G1325 howG4459 will it be knownG1097 what [is]G3588 being spoken?G2980 You will beG1510 forG1063 intoG1519 [the] airG0109 speaking.G2980

10: So manyG5118 ifG1487 it may beG5177 kindsG1085 of languagesG5456 there areG1510 inG1722 [the] world,G2889 andG2532 noneG3762 without meaning.G0880

11: IfG1437 thereforeG3767 notG3361 I knowG1492 theG3588 powerG1411 of theG3588 sound,G5456 I will beG1510 to the [one]G3588 speakingG2980 a foreigner,G0915 andG2532 the [one]G3588 speakingG2980 toG1722 meG1473 a foreigner.G0915

12: SoG3779 alsoG2532 you,G4771 sinceG1893 zealousG2207 you areG1510 of spiritual gifts,G4151 forG4314 theG3588 edificationG3619 of theG3588 church,G1577 searchG2212 thatG2443 you should cause [it] to abound.G4052

13: ThereforeG1352 the [one]G3588 speakingG2980 in a tongue,G1100 let him prayG4336 thatG2443 he might interpret.G1329

14: IfG1437 forG1063 I prayG4336 in a tongue,G1100 theG3588 spiritG4151 of meG1473 prays,G4336 -G3588 butG1161 the mindG3563 of meG1473 unfruitfulG0175 is.G1510

15: WhatG5101 thenG3767 is it?G1510 I will prayG4336 with theG3588 spirit,G4151 I will prayG4336 howeverG1161 alsoG2532 with theG3588 mind.G3563 I will sing praiseG5567 with theG3588 spirit,G4151 I will sing praiseG5567 howeverG1161 alsoG2532 with theG3588 mind.G3563

16: OtherwiseG1893 ifG1437 you blessG2127 with theG1722 spirit,G4151 the [one]G3588 fillingG0378 theG3588 placeG5117 of theG3588 uninstructed,G2399 howG4459 will he sayG2046 theG3588 AmenG0281 atG1909 -G3588 yourG4674 thanksgiving,G2169 sinceG1894 whatG5101 you sayG3004 notG3756 he knows?G1492

17: YouG4771 trulyG3303 forG1063 wellG2573 are giving thanks,G2168 butG0235 theG3588 otherG2087 notG3756 is edified.G3618

18: I thankG2168 -G3588 GodG2316 than allG3956 of youG4771 more,G3123 in tonguesG1100 speaking;G2980

19: butG0235 inG1722 [the] church,G1577 I desireG2309 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 withG3588 [the] mindG3563 of meG1473 to speakG2980 thatG2443 alsoG2532 othersG0243 I might instruct,G2727 rather thanG2228 ten thousandG3463 wordsG3056 inG1722 a tongue.G1100

20: Brothers,G0080 notG3361 childrenG3813 beG1096 in theG3588 minds.G5424 YetG0235 in theG3588 evil,G2549 be little children;G3515 in theG3588 howeverG1161 thinking,G5424 full grownG5046 be.G1096

21: InG1722 theG3588 lawG3551 it has been writtenG1125 -:G3754 ByG1722 other tongues,G2084 andG2532 byG1722 lipsG5491 other,G2087 I will speakG2980 to theG3588 peopleG2992 this,G3778 andG2532 not evenG3761 thusG3779 will they hearG1522 Me,G1473 saysG3004 [the] Lord.G2962

22: So thenG5620 -G3588 tonguesG1100 forG1519 a signG4592 are,G1510 notG3756 to thoseG3588 believing,G4100 butG0235 to theG3588 unbelieving;G0571 -G3588 butG1161 prophecyG4394 [is] notG3756 to theG3588 unbelieving,G0571 butG0235 to theG3588 believing.G4100

23: IfG1437 thereforeG3767 gathersG4905 theG3588 churchG1577 wholeG3650 togetherG1909 theG3588 place,G0846 andG2532 allG3956 should speakG2980 in tongues,G1100 come inG1525 howeverG1161 uninstructed onesG2399 orG2228 unbelievers,G0571 notG3756 will they sayG2046 thatG3754 you are mad?G3105

24: IfG1437 howeverG1161 allG3956 prophesy,G4395 should come inG1525 thenG1161 someG5100 unbelieverG0571 orG2228 uninstructed,G2399 he is convictedG1651 byG5259 all,G3956 he is examinedG0350 byG5259 all,G3956

25: theG3588 secretsG2927 of theG3588 heartG2588 of himG0846 manifestG5318 become.G1096 AndG2532 thusG3779 having fallenG4098 uponG1909 [his] face,G4383 he will worshipG4352 -G3588 God,G2316 declaringG0518 thatG3754 certainlyG3689 -G3588 GodG2316 amongG1722 youG4771 is.G1510

26: WhatG5101 thenG3767 is it,G1510 brothers?G0080 WhenG3752 you may come together,G4905 eachG1538 a psalmG5568 has,G2192 a teachingG1322 has,G2192 a revelationG0602 has,G2192 a tongueG1100 has,G2192 an interpretationG2058 has.G2192 All thingsG3956 forG4314 edificationG3619 let be done.G1096

27: IfG1535 with a tongueG1100 anyoneG5100 speaks,G2980 [let it be] byG2596 twoG1417 orG2228 theG3588 mostG4118 three,G5140 andG2532 inG0303 turn;G3313 andG2532 oneG1520 let interpret.G1329

28: IfG1437 howeverG1161 notG3361 there isG1510 an interpreter,G1328 let him be silentG4601 inG1722 [the] church;G1577 to himselfG1438 thenG1161 let him speak,G2980 andG2532 -G3588 to God.G2316

29: ProphetsG4396 then,G1161 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 let speak,G2980 andG2532 theG3588 othersG0243 let discern.G1252

30: IfG1437 howeverG1161 to anotherG0243 a revelation should be madeG0601 sitting by,G2521 theG3588 firstG4413 let be silent.G4601

31: You are ableG1410 forG1063 [one] byG2596 oneG1520 allG3956 to prophesy,G4395 so thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129 andG2532 allG3956 may be exhorted.G3870

32: AndG2532 spiritsG4151 of prophets,G4396 to prophetsG4396 are subject.G5293

33: NotG3756 forG1063 He isG1510 of disorderG0181 theG3588 God,G2316 butG0235 of peace.G1515 AsG5613 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577 of theG3588 saints,G0040

34: theG3588 womenG1135 inG1722 theG3588 churchesG1577 let them be silent.G4601 NotG3756 forG1063 it is allowedG2010 to themG0846 to speak,G2980 butG0235 to be in submission,G5293 asG2531 alsoG2532 theG3588 lawG3551 says.G3004

35: IfG1487 howeverG1161 anythingG5100 to learnG3129 they desire,G2309 atG1722 homeG3624 theG3588 ownG2398 husbandsG0435 let them ask;G1905 shamefulG0150 forG1063 it isG1510 for a womanG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 [the] church.G1577

36: OrG2228 fromG0575 youG4771 theG3588 wordG3056 -G3588 of GodG2316 has gone out?G1831 OrG2228 toG1519 youG4771 onlyG3441 has it come?G2658

37: IfG1487 anyoneG5100 considersG1380 a prophetG4396 himself to be,G1510 orG2228 spiritual,G4152 let him recognizeG1921 the thingsG3739 I writeG1125 to youG4771 thatG3754 of [the] LordG2962 areG1510 [the] commands.G1785

38: IfG1487 howeverG1161 anyoneG5100 is ignorant,G0050 let him be ignored.G0050

39: So,G5620 brothersG0080 of me,G1473 earnestly desireG2206 -G3588 to prophesy,G4395 andG2532 -G3588 to speakG2980 notG3361 do forbidG2967 in tongues.G1100

40: All thingsG3956 howeverG1161 properlyG2156 andG2532 withG2596 orderG5010 let be done.G1096
