| 14 1 | Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. | Tongues and Prophecy 1Cor.14.1-25 | Διώκετε τὴν ἀγάπην, ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ πνευματικά, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε. |
| 2 | For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. | ὁ γὰρ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ ἀλλὰ θεῷ, οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀκούει, πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια· | |
| 3 | On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. | ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ οἰκοδομὴν καὶ παράκλησιν καὶ παραμυθίαν. | |
| 4 | He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. | ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ· ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ. | |
| 5 | Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified. | θέλω δὲ πάντας ὑμᾶς λαλεῖν γλώσσαις, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε· μείζων δὲ ὁ προφητεύων ἢ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσαις, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ διερμηνεύῃ, ἵνα ἡ ἐκκλησία οἰκοδομὴν λάβῃ. | |
| 6 | Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? | Νῦν δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν ἐλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς γλώσσαις λαλῶν, τί ὑμᾶς ὠφελήσω, ἐὰν μὴ ὑμῖν λαλήσω ἢ ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἢ ἐν γνώσει ἢ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἢ ἐν διδαχῇ; | |
| 7 | If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? | ὁμως τὰ ἀψυχα φωνὴν διδόντα, εἰτε αὐλὸς εἰτε κιθάρα, ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ δῷ, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ αὐλούμενον ἢ τὸ κιθαριζόμενον; | |
| 8 | And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? | καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἀδηλον σάλπιγξ φωνὴν δῷ, τίς παρασκευάσεται εἰς πόλεμον; | |
| 9 | So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. | οὑτως καὶ ὑμεῖς διὰ τῆς γλώσσης ἐὰν μὴ εὐσημον λόγον δῶτε, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον; ἐσεσθε γὰρ εἰς ἀέρα λαλοῦντες. | |
| 10 | There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning; | τοσαῦτα εἰ τύχοι γένη φωνῶν εἰσιν ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀφωνον· | |
| 11 | but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. | ἐὰν οὖν μὴ εἰδῶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς φωνῆς, ἐσομαι τῷ λαλοῦντι βάρβαρος καὶ ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ βάρβαρος. | |
| 12 | So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. | οὑτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων, πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε. | |
| 13 | Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. | διὸ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ προσευχέσθω ἵνα διερμηνεύῃ. | |
| 14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. | ἐὰν γὰρ προσεύχωμαι γλώσσῃ, τὸ πνεῦμά μου προσεύχεται, ὁ δὲ νοῦς μου ἀκαρπός ἐστιν. | |
| 15 | What am I to do? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. | τί οὖν ἐστιν; προσεύξομαι τῷ πνεύματι, προσεύξομαι δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ· ψαλῶ τῷ πνεύματι, ψαλῶ δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ. | |
| 16 | Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say the "Amen"to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? | ἐπεὶ ἐὰν εὐλογῇς ἐν πνεύματι, ὁ ἀναπληρῶν τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἰδιώτου πῶς ἐρεῖ τὸ Ἀμήν ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εὐχαριστίᾳ, ἐπειδὴ τί λέγεις οὐκ οἶδεν; | |
| 17 | For you may give thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified. | σὺ μὲν γὰρ καλῶς εὐχαριστεῖς, ἀλλ' ὁ ἑτερος οὐκ οἰκοδομεῖται. | |
| 18 | I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all; | εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ, πάντων ὑμῶν μᾶλλον γλώσσαις λαλῶ· | |
| 19 | nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. | ἀλλὰ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ θέλω πέντε λόγους τῷ νοΐ μου λαλῆσαι, ἵνα καὶ ἀλλους κατηχήσω, ἢ μυρίους λόγους ἐν γλώσσῃ. | |
| 20 | Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be babes in evil, but in thinking be mature. | Ἀδελφοί, μὴ παιδία γίνεσθε ταῖς φρεσίν, ἀλλὰ τῇ κακίᾳ νηπιάζετε, ταῖς δὲ φρεσὶν τέλειοι γίνεσθε. | |
| 21 | In the law it is written, "By men of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord." | - By men of strange tongues 1Cor.14.21 | Is.28.11-12 | Dt.28.49 | ἐν τῷ νόμῳ γέγραπται ὅτι Ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις |
| 22 | Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers. | ὡστε αἱ γλῶσσαι εἰς σημεῖόν εἰσιν οὐ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, ἡ δὲ προφητεία οὐ τοῖς ἀπίστοις ἀλλὰ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν. | |
| 23 | If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? | Ἐὰν οὖν συνέλθῃ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὁλη ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ πάντες λαλῶσιν γλώσσαις, εἰσέλθωσιν δὲ ἰδιῶται ἢ ἀπιστοι, οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ὅτι μαίνεσθὲ; | |
| 24 | But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, | ἐὰν δὲ πάντες προφητεύωσιν, εἰσέλθῃ δέ τις ἀπιστος ἢ ἰδιώτης, ἐλέγχεται ὑπὸ πάντων, ἀνακρίνεται ὑπὸ πάντων, | |
| 25 | the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. | τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ φανερὰ γίνεται, καὶ οὑτως πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον προσκυνήσει τῷ θεῷ, ἀπαγγέλλων ὅτι Ὄντως ὁ θεὸς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν. | |
