|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. | Sectamini caritatem, aemulamini spiritualia: magis autem ut prophetetis. | Διώκετε τὴν ἀγάπην· ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ πνευματικά, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε. |
| 2 | For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. | Qui enim loquitur lingua, non hominibus loquitur, sed Deo: nemo enim audit. Spiritu autem loquitur mysteria. | ὁ γὰρ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀκούει, πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια· |
| 3 | But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort. | Nam qui prophetat, hominibus loquitur ad aedificationem, et exhortationem, et consolationem. | ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ οἰκοδομὴν καὶ παράκλησιν καὶ παραμυθίαν. |
| 4 | He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. | Qui loquitur lingua, semetipsum aedificat: qui autem prophetat, ecclesiam Dei aedificat. | ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ, ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ. |
| 5 | And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. | Volo autem omnes vos loqui linguis: magis autem prophetare. Nam maior est qui prophetat, quam qui loquitur linguis; nisi forte interpretetur ut ecclesia aedificationem accipiat. | θέλω δὲ πάντας ὑμᾶς λαλεῖν γλώσσαις, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε· μείζων γὰρ ὁ προφητεύων ἢ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσαις, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ διερμηνεύει, ἵνα ἡ ἐκκλησία οἰκοδομὴν λάβῃ. |
| 6 | But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine? | Nunc autem, fratres, si venero ad vos linguis loquens: quid vobis prodero, nisi vobis loquar aut in revelatione, aut in scientia, aut in prophetia, aut in doctrina? | νυνὶ δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς γλώσσαις λαλῶν, τί ὑμᾶς ὠφελήσω, ἐὰν μὴ ὑμῖν λαλήσω ἢ ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἢ ἐν γνώσει ἢ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἢ ἐν διδαχῇ; |
| 7 | Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? | Tamen quae sine anima sunt vocem dantia, sive tibia, sive cithara; nisi distinctionem sonituum dederint, quomodo scietur id quod canitur, aut quod citharizatur? | ὅμως τὰ ἄψυχα φωνὴν διδόντα, εἴτε αὐλὸς εἴτε κιθάρα, ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ διδῷ, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ αὐλούμενον ἢ τὸ κιθαριζόμενον; |
| 8 | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? | Etenim si incertam vocem det tuba, quis parabit se ad bellum? | καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἄδηλον φωνὴν σάλπιγξ δῷ, τίς παρασκευάσεται εἰς πόλεμον; |
| 9 | So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air. | Ita et vos per linguam nisi manifestum sermonem dederitis: quomodo scietur id quod dicitur? eritis enim in aëra loquentes. | οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς διὰ τῆς γλώσσης ἐὰν μὴ εὔσημον λόγον δῶτε, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον; ἔσεσθε γὰρ εἰς ἀέρα λαλοῦντες. |
| 10 | There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. | Tam multa, ut puta genera linguarum sunt in hoc mundo: et nihil sine voce est. | τοσαῦτα εἰ τύχοι γένη φωνῶν ἐστιν ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῶν ἄφωνον· |
| 11 | If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me. | Si ergo nesciero virtutem vocis, ero ei, cui loquor, barbarus: et qui loquitur, mihi barbarus. | ἐὰν οὖν μὴ εἰδῶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς φωνῆς, ἔσομαι τῷ λαλοῦντι βάρβαρος καὶ ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ βάρβαρος. |
| 12 | So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. | Sic et vos, quoniam aemulatores estis spirituum, ad aedificationem ecclesiae quaerite ut abundetis. | οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων, πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε. |
| 13 | And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. | Et ideo qui loquitur lingua, oret ut interpretetur. | Διόπερ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ προσευχέσθω ἵνα διερμηνεύῃ. |
| 14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit. | Nam si orem lingua, spiritus meus orat, mens autem mea sine fructu est. | ἐὰν γὰρ προσεύχωμαι γλώσσῃ, τὸ πνεῦμά μου προσεύχεται, ὁ δὲ νοῦς μου ἄκαρπός ἐστι. |
| 15 | What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. | Quid ergo est? Orabo spiritu, orabo et mente: psallam spiritu, psallam et mente. | τί οὖν ἐστι; προσεύξομαι τῷ πνεύματι, προσεύξομαι δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ· ψαλῶ τῷ πνεύματι, ψαλῶ δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ. |
| 16 | Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest. | Ceterum si benedixeris spiritu, qui supplet locum idiotae, quomodo dicet: Amen, super tuam benedictionem? quoniam quid dicas, nescit. | ἐπεὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃς τῷ πνεύματι, ὁ ἀναπληρῶν τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἰδιώτου πῶς ἐρεῖ τὸ ἀμὴν ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εὐχαριστίᾳ; ἐπειδὴ τί λέγεις οὐκ οἶδε· |
| 17 | For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | Nam tu quidem bene gratias agis, sed alter non aedificatur. | σὺ μὲν γὰρ καλῶς εὐχαριστεῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἕτερος οὐκ οἰκοδομεῖται. |
| 18 | I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. | Gratias ago Deo meo, quod omnium vestrum lingua loquor. | εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντων ὑμῶν μᾶλλον γλώσσαις λαλῶν· |
| 19 | But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue. | Sed in ecclesia volo quinque verba sensu meo loqui, ut et alios instruam: quam decem millia verborum in lingua. | ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ θέλω πέντε λόγους διὰ τοῦ νοός μου λαλῆσαι, ἵνα καὶ ἄλλους κατηχήσω, ἢ μυρίους λόγους ἐν γλώσσῃ. |
| 20 | Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect. | Fratres, nolite pueri effici sensibus, sed malitia parvuli estote: sensibus autem perfecti estote. | Ἀδελφοί, μὴ παιδία γίνεσθε ταῖς φρεσίν, ἀλλὰ τῇ κακίᾳ νηπιάζετε, ταῖς δὲ φρεσὶ τέλειοι γίνεσθε. |
| 21 | In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord. | In lege scriptum est: Quoniam in aliis linguis et labiis aliis loquar populo huic: et nec sic exaudient me, dicit Dominus. | ἐν τῷ νόμῳ γέγραπται ὅτι ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις καὶ ἐν χείλεσιν ἑτέροις λαλήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, καὶ οὐδ᾽ οὕτως εἰσακούσονταί μου λέγει Κύριος. |
| 22 | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers. | Itaque linguae in signum sunt non fidelibus, sed infidelibus: prophetiae autem non infidelibus, sed fidelibus. | ὥστε 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 come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad? | Si ergo conveniat universa ecclesia in unum, et omnes linguis loquantur, intrent autem idiotae, aut infideles: nonne dicent quod insanitis? | Ἐὰν οὖν συνέλθῃ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὅλη ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλῶσιν, εἰσέλθωσι δὲ ἰδιῶται ἢ ἄπιστοι, οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ὅτι μαίνεσθε; |
| 24 | But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all. | Si autem omnes prophetent, intret autem quis infidelis, vel idiota, convincitur ab omnibus, diiudicatur ab omnibus: | ἐὰν δὲ πάντες προφητεύωσιν, εἰσέλθῃ δέ τις ἄπιστος ἢ ἰδιώτης, ἐλέγχεται ὑπὸ πάντων, ἀνακρίνεται ὑπὸ πάντων, |
| 25 | The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. | occulta cordis eius manifesta fiunt: et ita cadens in faciem adorabit Deum, pronuntians quod vere Deus in vobis sit. | καὶ οὕτω τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ φανερὰ γίνεται· καὶ οὕτω πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον προσκυνήσει τῷ Θεῷ, ἀπαγγέλλων ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ὄντως ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστι. |
| 26 | How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification. | Quid ergo est, fratres? Cum convenitis, unusquisque vestrum psalmum habet, doctrinam habet, apocalypsim habet, linguam habet, interpretationem habet: omnia ad aedificationem fiant. | Τί οὖν ἐστιν, ἀδελφοί; ὅταν συνέρχησθε, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ψαλμὸν ἔχει, διδαχὴν ἔχει, γλῶσσαν ἔχει, ἀποκάλυψιν ἔχει, ἑρμηνείαν ἔχει· πάντα πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν γινέσθω. |
| 27 | If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret. | Sive lingua quis loquitur, secundum duos, aut ut multum tres, et per partes, et unus interpretatur. | εἴτε γλώσσῃ τις λαλεῖ, κατὰ δύο ἢ τὸ πλεῖστον τρεῖς, καὶ ἀνὰ μέρος, καὶ εἷς διερμηνευέτω· |
| 28 | But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God. | Si autem non fuerit interpres, taceat in ecclesia: sibi autem loquatur, et Deo. | ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ διερμηνευτής, σιγάτω ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἑαυτῷ δὲ λαλείτω καὶ τῷ Θεῷ. |
| 29 | And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge. | Prophetae autem duo, aut tres dicant, et ceteri diiudicent. | προφῆται δὲ δύο ἢ τρεῖς λαλείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι διακρινέτωσαν· |
| 30 | But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. | Quod si alii revelatum fuerit sedenti, prior taceat. | ἐὰν δὲ ἄλλῳ ἀποκαλυφθῇ καθημένῳ, ὁ πρῶτος σιγάτω. |
| 31 | For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted: | Potestis enim omnes per singulos prophetare: ut omnes discant, et omnes exhortentur: | δύνασθε γὰρ καθ᾽ ἕνα πάντες προφητεύειν, ἵνα πάντες μανθάνωσι καὶ πάντες παρακαλῶνται· |
| 32 | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. | et spiritus prophetarum prophetis subiecti sunt. | καὶ πνεύματα προφητῶν προφήταις ὑποτάσσεται· |
| 33 | For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. | Non enim est dissensionis Deus, sed pacis: sicut et in omnibus ecclesiis sanctorum doceo. | οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀκαταστασίας ὁ Θεός, ἀλλὰ εἰρήνης. |
| 34 | Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. | Mulieres in ecclesiis taceant, non enim permittitur eis loqui, sed subditas esse, sicut et lex dicit. | Ὡς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῶν ἁγίων, αἱ γυναῖκες ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις σιγάτωσαν· οὐ γὰρ ἐπιτέτραπται αὐταῖς λαλεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὑποτάσσεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ὁ νόμος λέγει. |
| 35 | But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. | Si quid autem volunt discere, domi viros suos interrogent. Turpe est enim mulieri loqui in ecclesia. | εἰ δέ τι μαθεῖν θέλουσιν, ἐν οἴκῳ τοὺς ἰδίους ἄνδρας ἐπερωτάτωσαν· αἰσχρὸν γάρ ἐστι γυναιξὶν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ λαλεῖν. |
| 36 | Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you? | An a vobis verbum Dei processit? aut in vos solos pervenit? | ἢ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν, ἢ εἰς ὑμᾶς μόνους κατήντησεν; |
| 37 | If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord. | Si quis videtur propheta esse, aut spiritualis, cognoscat quae scribo vobis, quia Domini sunt mandata. | Εἴ τις δοκεῖ προφήτης εἶναι ἢ πνευματικός, ἐπιγινωσκέτω ἃ γράφω ὑμῖν, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσὶν ἐντολαί· |
| 38 | But if any man know not, he shall not be known. | Si quis autem ignorat, ignorabitur. | εἰ δέ τις ἀγνοεῖ, ἀγνοείτω. |
| 39 | Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues. | Itaque fratres aemulamini prophetare: et loqui linguis nolite prohibere. | Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί, ζηλοῦτε τὸ προφητεύειν, καὶ τὸ λαλεῖν γλώσσαις μὴ κωλύετε· |
| 40 | But let all things be done decently, and according to order. | Omnia autem honeste, et secundum ordinem fiant. | πάντα εὐσχημόνως καὶ κατὰ τάξιν γινέσθω. |
