2 For he that speaketh in an unknown language, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; yet in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:2

3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:3

4 He that speaketh in an unknown language edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:4

5 I would that ye all spoke in languages, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh in languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:5

6 Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in languages, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:6

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?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:7

8 For if the trumpet shall give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:8

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 will speak into the air.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:9

10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:10

11 Therefore, if 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 to me.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:11

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:12

13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown language, pray that he may interpret.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:13

14 For if I pray in an unknown language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:14

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.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:15

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?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:16

17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:17

18 I thank my God, I speak in languages more than ye all:WBS — 1Corinthians 14:18

19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown language.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:19

20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:20

21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:21

22 Wherefore languages 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 who believe.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:22

23 If therefore the whole church is assembled in one place, and all speak in languages, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are insane?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:23

24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all:WBS — 1Corinthians 14:24

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 in truth.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:25

26 How is it then, brethren? when ye are assembled, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a language, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:26

27 If any man speaketh in an unknown language, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:27

28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:28

29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:29

30 If any thing is revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:30

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:31

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:32

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:33

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak: but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:34

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.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:35

36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only?WBS — 1Corinthians 14:36

37 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:37

38 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:38

39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak in languages.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:39

40 Let all things be done decently, and in order.WBS — 1Corinthians 14:40
