do earnestly pursue love; do earnestly desire now spiritual gifts, especially now that you may prophesy.

The [one] for speaking in a tongue, not to men speaks, but to God; no one for hears; in the Spirit however, he utters mysteries.

The [one] however prophesying, to men speaks [for] edification, and encouragement, and consolation.

The [one] speaking in a tongue, himself edifies; the [one] however prophesying, [the] church edifies.

I desire now all you to speak in tongues, rather however that you may prophesy; greater [is] now the [one] prophesying than the [one] speaking in tongues, unless except only he shall interpret, so that the church edification may receive.

now however brothers, if I shall come to you in tongues speaking, what you will I profit, if not to you I shall speak either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

Even lifeless things a sound giving, whether flute or harp, if distinction to the sounds not they shall give, how will it be known what is being piped or what is being harped?

Also for if indistinct [the] trumpet sound shall give, who will prepare himself for battle?

So also you, with the tongue if not intelligible speech you shall give, how will it be known what [is] being spoken? You will be for into [the] air speaking.

So many if it might be kinds of languages there are in [the] world, and none without meaning.

If therefore not I shall have known the power of the sound, I will be to the [one] speaking a foreigner, and the [one] speaking to me a foreigner.

So also you, since zealous you are of spiritual gifts, for the edification of the church, do search that you may cause [it] to abound.

For the [one] speaking in a tongue, he should pray that he may interpret.

If for I shall pray in a tongue, the spirit of me prays, but the mind of me unfruitful is.

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

Otherwise if you shall bless in [the] spirit, the [one] filling the place of the uninstructed, how will he say the Amen at your thanksgiving, since what you say not he knows?

You truly for well are giving thanks, but the other not is edified.

I thank the God than all of you more, in tongues speaking;

but in [the] church, I desire five words the with mind of me to speak that also others I may instruct, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brothers, not children do be in the minds. Yet in the evil, do be little children; in the however thinking, full grown do be.

In the law it has been written that: By other tongues, and by lips of others, I will speak to the people this, and not even thus will they hear Me, says [the] Lord.”

So then tongues for a sign are, not to those believing, but to the unbelieving; but prophecy [is] not to the unbelieving, but to the believing.

If therefore shall gather the church whole together the place, and all shall speak in tongues, may come in however uninstructed ones or unbelievers, not will they say that you are mad?

If however all shall prophesy, shall come in then some unbeliever or uninstructed, he is convicted by all, he is examined by all,

the secrets of the heart of him manifest become. And thus having fallen upon [his] face, he will worship God, declaring that certainly God among you is.
