| 1 Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy. 2 For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries. 3 But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. 4 Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification. 6 But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine? 7 Even those things that are without a soul can make sounds, whether it is a wind or a stringed instrument. But unless they present a distinction within the sounds, how will it be known which is from the pipe and which is from the string? 8 For example, if the trumpet made an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for battle? 9 So it is with you also, for unless you utter with the tongue in plain speech, how will it be known what is said? For then you would be speaking into the air. 10 Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice. 11 Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me. 12 So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound. 13 For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation. 14 So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit. 15 What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind. 16 Otherwise, if you have blessed only with the spirit, how can someone, in a state of ignorance, add an “Amen” to your blessing? For he does not know what you are saying. 17 In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified. 18 I thank my God that I speak in tongues for all of you. 19 But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues. |
