CHAPTER 14

| 1 | διωκετε |  | την |  | αγαπην |  | ζηλουτε |  | δε |  | τα |  | πνευματικα |  | μαλλον |  | δε |  | ινα |
|  | Pursue |  | ♦ |  | love, |  | and be emulous of |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | spirituals, |  | but rather |  | ♦ |  | that |

προφητευητε |  |
ye may prophesy. |  |

| 2 | ο |  | γαρ |  | λαλων |  | γλωσση |  | ουκ |  | ανθρωποις |  | λαλει |  | αλλα |  | τω |  | θεω |
|  | For he that |  | ♦ |  | speaks |  | with a tongue, |  | not |  | to men |  | speaks, |  | but |  | ♦ |  | to God: |

ουδεις |  | γαρ |  | ακουει |  | πνευματι |  | δε |  | λαλει |  | μυστηρια |  |
for no one |  | ♦ |  | hears; |  | in 2 spirit 3 |  | but 1 |  | he speaks |  | mysteries. |  |

| 3 | ο |  | δε |  | προφητευων |  | ανθρωποις |  | λαλει |  | οικοδομην |  | και |
|  | But he that |  | ♦ |  | prophesies, |  | to men |  | speaks [for] |  | building up |  | and |

παρακλησιν |  | και |  | παραμυθιαν |  |
encouragement |  | and |  | consolation. |  |

| 4 | ο |  | λαλων |  | γλωσση |  | εαυτον |  | οικοδομει |  | ο |  | δε |  | προφητευων |
|  | He that |  | speaks |  | with a tongue, |  | himself |  | builds up; |  | But he that |  | ♦ |  | prophesies, |

εκκλησιαν |  | οικοδομει |  |
[the] assembly |  | builds up. |  |

| 5 | θελω |  | δε |  | παντας |  | υμας |  | λαλειν |  | γλωσσαις |  | μαλλον |  | δε |  | ινα |
|  | Now I desire |  | ♦ |  | all |  | you |  | to speak |  | with tongues, |  | rather 2 |  | but 1 |  | that |

προφητευητε |  | μειζων |  | γαρ |  | ο |  | προφητευων |  | η |  | ο |  | λαλων |
ye should prophesy: |  | greater 2 |  | for 1 |  | [is] he that |  | prophesies |  | than |  | he that |  | speaks |

γλωσσαις |  | εκτος |  | ει |  | μη |  | διερμηνευη |  | ινα |  | η |  | εκκλησια |  | οικοδομην |
with tongues, |  | ♦ |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | he should interpret, |  | that |  | the |  | assembly |  | building up |

λαβη |  |
may receive. |  |

| 6 | νυνι |  | δε |  | αδελφοι |  | εαν |  | ελθω |  | προς |  | υμας |  | γλωσσαις |  | λαλων |  | τι |  | υμας |
|  | And now, |  | ♦ |  | bretheren, |  | if |  | I come |  | to |  | you |  | with tongues |  | speaking, |  | what |  | you |

ωφελησω |  | εαν |  | μη |  | υμιν |  | λαλησω |  | η |  | εν |  | αποκαλυψει |  | η |  | εν |  | γνωσει |  | η |
shall I profit, |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | to you |  | I shall speak |  | either |  | in |  | revelation, |  | or |  | in |  | knowledge, |  | or |

εν |  | προφητεια |  | η |  | εν |  | διδαχη |  |
in |  | prophecy, |  | or |  | in |  | teaching? |  |

| 7 | ομως |  | τα |  | αψυχα |  | φωνην |  | διδοντα |  | ειτε |  | αυλος |  | ειτε |  | κιθαρα |  | εαν |
|  | Even |  | ♦ |  | lifeless things |  | a sound |  | giving, |  | whether |  | pipe |  | or |  | harp, |  | if |

διαστολην |  | τοις |  | φθογγοις |  | μη |  | δω |  | πως |  | γνωσθησεται |  | το |
distinction |  | to the |  | sounds |  | they give not, |  | ♦ |  | how |  | shall be known |  | that |

αυλουμενον |  | η |  | το |  | κιθαριζομενον |  |
being piped |  | or |  | ♦ |  | being harped? |  |

| 8 | και |  | γαρ |  | εαν |  | αδηλον |  | φωνην |  | σαλπιγξ |  | δω |  | τις |  | παρασκευασεται |  | εις |
|  | For also |  | ♦ |  | if |  | an uncertain |  | sound |  | a trumpet |  | give, |  | who |  | shall prepare himself |  | for |

πολεμον |  |
war? |  |

| 9 | ουτως |  | και |  | υμεις |  | δια |  | της |  | γλωσσης |  | εαν |  | μη |  | ευσημον |  | λογον |  | δωτε
|  | So |  | also |  | ye, |  | by means of |  | the |  | tongue |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | an intelligible |  | speech |  | ye give,

| πως |  | γνωσθησεται |  | το |  | λαλουμενον |  | εσεσθε |  | γαρ |  | εις |  | αερα |
| how |  | shall be known |  | that |  | being spoken? |  | for ye will be |  | ♦ |  | into 2 |  | [the] 3 air 4 |

λαλουντες |  |
speaking. 1 |  |

| 10 | τοσαυτα |  | ει |  | τυχοι |  | γενη |  | φωνων |  | εστιν |  | εν |  | κοσμω |  | και |  | ουδεν |  | αυτων |
|  | So many |  | ♦ |  | it may be, |  | kinds |  | of sounds |  | there are |  | in |  | [the] world, |  | and |  | none |  | of them |

αφωνον |  |
without [distinct] sound. |  |

| 11 | εαν |  | ουν |  | μη |  | ειδω |  | την |  | δυναμιν |  | της |  | φωνης |  | εσομαι |  | τω |
|  | If |  | therefore |  | I know not |  | ♦ |  | the |  | power |  | of them |  | sound, |  | I shall be |  | to him that |

λαλουντι |  | βαρβαρος |  | και |  | ο |  | λαλων |  | εν |  | εμοι |  | βαρβαρος |  |
speaks |  | a barbarian; |  | and |  | he that |  | speaks, |  | for 3 |  | me 4 |  | a 1 barbarian. 2 |  |

| 12 | ουτως |  | και |  | υμεις |  | επει |  | ζηλωται |  | εστε |  | πνευματων |  | προς |  | την |  | οικοδομην |
|  | So |  | also |  | ye, |  | since |  | emulous |  | ye are |  | of spirits, |  | for |  | the |  | building up |

της |  | εκκλησιας |  | ζητειτε |  | ινα |  | περισσευητε |  |
of the |  | assembly |  | seek |  | that |  | ye may abound. |  |

| 13 | διοπερ |  | ο |  | λαλων |  | γλωσση |  | προσευχεσθω |  | ινα |  | διερμηνευη |  |
|  | Wherefore |  | he that |  | speaks |  | with a tongue, |  | let him pray |  | that |  | he may interpret. |  |

| 14 | εαν |  | γαρ |  | προσευχωμαι |  | γλωσση |  | το |  | πνευμα |  | μου |  | προσευχεται |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | I pray |  | with a tongue, |  | my spirit |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | prays, |

ο |  | δε |  | νους |  | μου |  | ακαρπος |  | εστιν |  |
but my understanding |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | unfruitful |  | is. |  |

| 15 | τι |  | ουν |  | εστιν |  | προσευξομαι |  | τω |  | πνευματι |  | προσευξομαι |  | δε |  | και |
|  | What |  | then |  | is it? |  | I will pray |  | with the |  | Spirit, |  | I 2 will 3 pray 4 |  | but 1 |  | also |

τω |  | νοι |  | ψαλω |  | τω |  | πνευματι |  | ψαλω |  | δε |  | και |  | τω |
with the |  | understanding. |  | I will praise |  | with the |  | Spirit, |  | I 2 will 3 praise 4 |  | but 1 |  | also |  | with the |

νοι |  |
understanding. |  |

| 16 | επει |  | εαν |  | ευλογησης |  | τω |  | πνευματι |  | ο |  | αναπληρων |  | τον |  | τοπον |  | του |
|  | Else |  | if |  | thou bless |  | with the |  | spirit, |  | he that |  | fills |  | the |  | place |  | of the |

ιδιωτου |  | πως |  | ερει |  | το |  | αμην |  | επι |  | τη |  | ση |  | ευχαριστια |
uninstructed |  | how |  | shall he say |  | the |  | Amen |  | at |  | thy giving of thanks, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

επειδη |  | τι |  | λεγεις |  | ουκ |  | οιδεν |  |
since |  | what |  | thou sayest |  | he knows not? |  | ♦ |  |

| 17 | συ |  | μεν |  | γαρ |  | καλως |  | ευχαριστεις |  | αλλ |  | ο |  | ετερος |  | ουκ |
|  | For thou indeed |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | well |  | givest thanks, |  | but |  | the |  | other |  | is not built up. |

οικοδομειται |  |
♦ |  |

| 18 | ευχαριστω |  | τω |  | θεω |  | μου |  | παντων |  | υμων |  | μαλλον |  | γλωσσαις |  | λαλων |  |
|  | I thank |  | ♦ |  | God 2 |  | my, 1 |  | than 7 all 8 |  | of 9 you 10 |  | more 6 |  | with 4 tongues 5 |  | speaking; 3 |  |

| 19 | αλλ |  | εν |  | εκκλησια |  | θελω |  | πεντε |  | λογους |  | δια |  | του |  | νοος |  | μου |
|  | but |  | in |  | [the] assembly |  | I desire |  | five |  | words |  | with |  | ♦ |  | understanding 2 |  | my 1 |

λαλησαι |  | ινα |  | και |  | αλλους |  | κατηχησω |  | η |  | μυριους |  | λογους |  | εν |  | γλωσση |  |
to speak, |  | that |  | also |  | others |  | I may instruct, |  | than |  | ten thousand |  | words |  | in |  | a tongue. |  |

| 20 | αδελφοι |  | μη |  | παιδια |  | γινεσθε |  | ταις |  | φρεσιν |  | αλλα |  | τη |  | κακια |
|  | Brethren, |  | not 2 |  | children 3 |  | be 1 |  | in [your] minds, |  | ♦ |  | but |  | ♦ |  | in malice |

νηπιαζετε |  | ταις |  | δε |  | φρεσιν |  | τελειοι |  | γινεσθε |  |
be babes; |  | but in |  | ♦ |  | [your] minds |  | full 2 grown 3 |  | be. 1 |  |

| 21 | εν |  | τω |  | νομω |  | γεγραπται |  | οτι |  | εν |  | ετερογλωσσοις |  | και |  | εν |  | χειλεσιν |
|  | In |  | the |  | law |  | it has been written, |  | ♦ |  | By |  | other tongues, |  | and |  | by |  | lips 2 |

ετεροις |  | λαλησω |  | τω |  | λαω |  | τουτω |  | και |  | ουδ |  | ουτως |  | εισακουσονται |
other 1 |  | I will speak |  | to this people, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |  | not even |  | thus |  | will they hear |

μου |  | λεγει |  | κυριος |  |
me, |  | saith |  | [the] Lord. |  |

| 22 | ωστε |  | αι |  | γλωσσαι |  | εις |  | σημειον |  | εισιν |  | ου |  | τοις |  | πιστευουσιν |  | αλλα |
|  | So that |  | the |  | tongues |  | for |  | a sign |  | are, |  | not |  | to those that |  | believe, |  | but |

τοις |  | απιστοις |  | η |  | δε |  | προφητεια |  | ου |  | τοις |  | απιστοις |  | αλλα |  | τοις |
to the |  | unbelievers; |  | but prophecy, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | not |  | to the |  | unbelievers, |  | but |  | to those that |

πιστευουσιν |  |
believe. |  |

| 23 | εαν |  | ουν |  | συνελθη |  | η |  | εκκλησια |  | ολη |  | επι |  | το |  | αυτο |  | και |
|  | If |  | therefore |  | come 4 together 5 |  | the 1 |  | assembly 3 |  | whole 2 |  | in one place, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |

παντες |  | γλωσσαις |  | λαλωσιν |  | εισελθωσιν |  | δε |  | ιδιωται |  | η |  | απιστοι |
all |  | with tongues |  | should speak, |  | and come in |  | ♦ |  | uninstructed ones |  | or |  | unbelievers, |

ουκ |  | ερουσιν |  | οτι |  | μαινεσθε |  |
will they not say |  | ♦ |  | that |  | ye are mad? |  |

| 24 | εαν |  | δε |  | παντες |  | προφητευωσιν |  | εισελθη |  | δε |  | τις |  | απιστος |  | η |
|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | all |  | prophesy, |  | and should come in |  | ♦ |  | some |  | unbeliever |  | or |

ιδιωτης |  | ελεγχεται |  | υπο |  | παντων |  | ανακρινεται |  | υπο |  | παντων |  |
uninstructed, |  | he is convicted |  | by |  | all, |  | he is examined |  | by |  | all; |  |

| 25 | και |  | ουτως |  | τα |  | κρυπτα |  | της |  | καρδιας |  | αυτου |  | φανερα |  | γινεται |  | και |
|  | and |  | thus |  | the |  | secrets |  | of his heart |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | manifest |  | become; |  | and |

ουτως |  | πεσων |  | επι |  | προσωπον |  | προσκυνησει |  | τω |  | θεω |  | απαγγελλων |  | οτι |  | ο |
thus |  | falling |  | upon |  | [his] face, |  | he will do homage |  | ♦ |  | to God, |  | declaring |  | that |  | ♦ |

θεος |  | οντως |  | εν |  | υμιν |  | εστιν |  |
God |  | indeed |  | amongst |  | you |  | is. |  |

| 26 | τι |  | ουν |  | εστιν |  | αδελφοι |  | οταν |  | συνερχησθε |  | εκαστος |  | υμων |  | ψαλμον |
|  | What |  | then |  | is it, |  | brethren? |  | when |  | ye may come together, |  | each |  | of you |  | a psalm |

εχει |  | διδαχην |  | εχει |  | γλωσσαν |  | εχει |  | αποκαλυψιν |  | εχει |  | ερμηνειαν |  | εχει |
has, |  | a teaching |  | has, |  | a tongue |  | has, |  | a revelation |  | has, |  | an interpretation |  | has. |

παντα |  | προς |  | οικοδομην |  | γενεσθω |  |
All things |  | for |  | building up |  | let be done. |  |

| 27 | ειτε |  | γλωσση |  | τις |  | λαλει |  | κατα |  | δυο |  | η |  | το |  | πλειστον |  | τρεις |  | και |
|  | If |  | with a tongue |  | anyone |  | speak, |  | [let it be] by |  | two |  | or |  | the |  | most |  | three, |  | and |

ανα |  | μερος |  | και |  | εις |  | διερμηνευετω |  |
in succession, |  | ♦ |  | and |  | one 2 |  | let interpret; 1 |  |

| 28 | εαν |  | δε |  | μη |  | η |  | διερμηνευτης |  | σιγατω |  | εν |  | εκκλησια |  | εαυτω |
|  | and if |  | ♦ |  | there be not |  | ♦ |  | an interpreter, |  | let him be silent |  | in |  | an assembly; |  | and to himself |

δε |  | λαλειτω |  | και |  | τω |  | θεω |  |
♦ |  | let him speak |  | and |  | ♦ |  | to God. |  |

|  | And prophets |  | ♦ |  | two 2 |  | or 3 |  | three 4 |  | let speak 1 |  | and |  | the 2 |  | others 3 |  | let discern. 1 |  |

|  | Ye 2 can 3 |  | for 1 |  | one by one |  | ♦ |  | all |  | prophesy, |  | that |  | all |

μανθανωσιν |  | και |  | παντες |  | παρακαλωνται |  |

♦ |  | to them |  | to speak; |  | but |  | to be in subjection, |  | according as |  | also |  | the |  | law |

λεγει |  |

επερωτατωσαν |  | αισχρον |  | γαρ |  | εστιν |  | γυναιξιν |  | εν |  | εκκλησια |  | λαλειν |  |
let them ask; |  | for a shame |  | ♦ |  | it is |  | for women |  | in |  | assembly |  | to speak. |  |

|  | If |  | anyone |  | thinks |  | a prophet |  | to be |  | or |  | spiritual, |  | let him recognize |  | the things |

I write |  | to you, |  | that |  | of the |  | Lord |  | they are |  | commands. |  |
