1
Follow
after
charity,
and
desire
spiritual
[gifts],
but
rather
that
ye
may
prophesy.
2
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.
3
But
he
that
prophesieth
speaketh
unto
men
[to]
edification,
and
exhortation,
and
comfort.
4
He
that
speaketh
in
an
[unknown]
tongue
edifieth
himself;
but
he
that
prophesieth
edifieth
the
church.
5
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.
6
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?
7
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?
8
For
if
the
trumpet
give
an
uncertain
sound,
who
shall
prepare
himself
to
the
battle?
9
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.
10
There
are,
it
may
be,
so
many
kinds
of
voices
in
the
world,
and
none
of
them
[is]
without
signification.
11
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
12
Even
so
ye,
forasmuch
as
ye
are
zealous
of
spiritual
[gifts],
seek
that
ye
may
excel
to
the
edifying
of
the
church.
13
Wherefore
let
him
that
speaketh
in
an
[unknown]
tongue
pray
that
he
may
interpret.
14
For
if
I
pray
in
an
[unknown]
tongue,
my
spirit
prayeth,
but
my
understanding
is
unfruitful.
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.
16
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?
17
For
thou
verily
givest
thanks
well,
but
the
other
is
not
edified.
18
I
thank
my
God,
I
speak
with
tongues
more
than
ye
all:
19
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.
20
Brethren,
be
not
children
in
understanding:
howbeit
in
malice
be
ye
children,
but
in
understanding
be
men.
21
In
the
law
it
is
written,
With
[men
of]
other
tongues
and
other
lips
will
I
speak
unto
this
people;
and
yet
for
all
that
will
they
not
hear
me,
saith
the
Lord.
22
Wherefore
tongues
are
for
a
sign,
not
to
them
that
believe,
but
to
them
that
believe
not:
but
prophesying
[serveth]
not
for
them
that
believe
not,
but
for
them
which
believe.
23
If
therefore
the
whole
church
be
come
together
into
one
place,
and
all
speak
with
tongues,
and
there
come
in
[those
that
are]
unlearned,
or
unbelievers,
will
they
not
say
that
ye
are
mad?
24
But
if
all
prophesy,
and
there
come
in
one
that
believeth
not,
or
[one]
unlearned,
he
is
convinced
of
all,
he
is
judged
of
all:
25
And
thus
are
the
secrets
of
his
heart
made
manifest;
and
so
falling
down
on
[his]
face
he
will
worship
God,
and
report
that
God
is
in
you
of
a
truth.
26
How
is
it
then,
brethren?
when
ye
come
together,
every
one
of
you
hath
a
psalm,
hath
a
doctrine,
hath
a
tongue,
hath
a
revelation,
hath
an
interpretation.
Let
all
things
be
done
unto
edifying.
27
If
any
man
speak
in
an
[unknown]
tongue,
[let
it
be]
by
two,
or
at
the
most
[by]
three,
and
[that]
by
course;
and
let
one
interpret.
28
But
if
there
be
no
interpreter,
let
him
keep
silence
in
the
church;
and
let
him
speak
to
himself,
and
to
God.
29
Let
the
prophets
speak
two
or
three,
and
let
the
other
judge.
30
If
[any
thing]
be
revealed
to
another
that
sitteth
by,
let
the
first
hold
his
peace.
31
For
ye
may
all
prophesy
one
by
one,
that
all
may
learn,
and
all
may
be
comforted.
32
And
the
spirits
of
the
prophets
are
subject
to
the
prophets.
33
For
God
is
not
[the
author]
of
confusion,
but
of
peace,
as
in
all
churches
of
the
saints.
34
Let
your
women
keep
silence
in
the
churches:
for
it
is
not
permitted
unto
them
to
speak;
but
[they
are
commanded]
to
be
under
obedience,
as
also
saith
the
law.
35
And
if
they
will
learn
any
thing,
let
them
ask
their
husbands
at
home:
for
it
is
a
shame
for
women
to
speak
in
the
church.
36
What?
came
the
word
of
God
out
from
you?
or
came
it
unto
you
only?
37
If
any
man
think
himself
to
be
a
prophet,
or
spiritual,
let
him
acknowledge
that
the
things
that
I
write
unto
you
are
the
commandments
of
the
Lord.
38
But
if
any
man
be
ignorant,
let
him
be
ignorant.
39
Wherefore,
brethren,
covet
to
prophesy,
and
forbid
not
to
speak
with
tongues.
40
Let
all
things
be
done
decently
and
in
order.
