1 Corinthians 14 : 1 (LITV)

Pursue love, and seek eagerly the spiritual things, but rather that you may prophesy.

1 Corinthians 14 : 2 (LITV)

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

1 Corinthians 14 : 3 (LITV)

But the one prophesying to men speaks for building up, and encouragement, and comfort.

1 Corinthians 14 : 4 (LITV)

The one speaking in a tongue builds himself up, but he prophesying builds up an assembly.

1 Corinthians 14 : 5 (LITV)

And I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy. For the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive building up.

1 Corinthians 14 : 6 (LITV)

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, except I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

1 Corinthians 14 : 7 (LITV)

Yet lifeless things giving a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

1 Corinthians 14 : 8 (LITV)

For also if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will get himself ready for war?

1 Corinthians 14 : 9 (LITV)

So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will the thing being said be known? For you will be speaking into air.

1 Corinthians 14 : 10 (LITV)

So it may be many kinds of sounds are in the world, and not one is without distinct sound.

1 Corinthians 14 : 11 (LITV)

If, then, I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and he speaking to me, a foreigner.

1 Corinthians 14 : 12 (LITV)

So also you, since you are zealots of spiritual things, seek to build up the assembly that you may abound.

1 Corinthians 14 : 13 (LITV)

So then, the one speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

1 Corinthians 14 : 14 (LITV)

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

1 Corinthians 14 : 15 (LITV)

What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the mind; I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the mind.

1 Corinthians 14 : 16 (LITV)

Else, if you bless in the spirit, the one occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

1 Corinthians 14 : 17 (LITV)

For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not built up.

1 Corinthians 14 : 18 (LITV)

I thank my God that I speak more languages than all of you.

1 Corinthians 14 : 19 (LITV)

But in an assembly I desire to speak five words with my mind, that I may also instruct others, than myriads of words in a foreign language.

1 Corinthians 14 : 20 (LITV)

Brothers, do not be children in your minds, but in malice be like infants, and in your minds be mature.

1 Corinthians 14 : 21 (LITV)

It has been written in the Law, "By other languages" and "by other lips" "I will speak to this people," "and even so they will not hear" Me, says the Lord. Isa. 28:11, 12

1 Corinthians 14 : 22 (LITV)

So that tongues are not a sign to those believing, but to those not believing. But prophecy is not to those not believing, but to those believing.

1 Corinthians 14 : 23 (LITV)

Then if the whole assembly comes together, and all speak in tongues, and uninstructed ones or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you rave?

1 Corinthians 14 : 24 (LITV)

But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or one not instructed comes in, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

1 Corinthians 14 : 25 (LITV)

And so the secrets of his heart become revealed; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God is truly among you.

1 Corinthians 14 : 26 (LITV)

Then what is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, he has a teaching, he has a language, he has a revelation, he has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

1 Corinthians 14 : 27 (LITV)

If one speaks in a language, let it be by two or three at the most, and in turn, also let one interpret.

1 Corinthians 14 : 28 (LITV)

And if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

1 Corinthians 14 : 29 (LITV)

And if there are two or three prophets, let them speak, and let the others discern.

1 Corinthians 14 : 30 (LITV)

But if a revelation is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

1 Corinthians 14 : 31 (LITV)

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be encouraged.

1 Corinthians 14 : 32 (LITV)

And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

1 Corinthians 14 : 33 (LITV)

For God is not of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14 : 34 (LITV)

Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not allowed to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as also the Law says.

1 Corinthians 14 : 35 (LITV)

But if they desire to learn anything, let them question their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in an assembly.

1 Corinthians 14 : 36 (LITV)

Or did the Word of God go out from you? Or did it reach only to you?

1 Corinthians 14 : 37 (LITV)

If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a command of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14 : 38 (LITV)

But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1 Corinthians 14 : 39 (LITV)

So then, brothers, seek eagerly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in languages.

1 Corinthians 14 : 40 (LITV)

And let all things come to be done decently and according to order.
