• 1 Cor 14:1-9 : 1 Folowe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes but most chiefelie that ye may prophesie. 2 For he that speaketh with the tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: For no man heareth hym. Howbeit, in the spirite he speaketh misteries. 3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men to their edifiyng, to their exhortation, and to their comfort. 4 He that speaketh with the tongue, edifieth hym selfe: he that prophesieth, edifieth the Churche. 5 I woulde yt ye al spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: For greater is he that prophesieth, then he that speaketh with tongues, except he expounde it, that the Churche may haue edifiyng. 6 Nowe brethren, yf I come vnto you speakyng with tongues, what shall I profite you, except I speake to you eyther by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesiyng, or by doctrine? 7 Moreouer, thynges without lyfe geuing sound, whether it be a pipe or an harpe, except they make a distinction in the soundes, howe shall it be knowen what is piped or harped? 8 And also yf the trumpe geue an vncertayne sounde, who shall prepare him selfe to the warre? 9 Euen so lykewyse, when ye speake with tongues, except ye speake wordes that haue signification, howe shall it be vnderstande what is spoken? For ye shall speake into the ayer. 10 There are so many kyndes of voyces, as it commeth to passe in the worlde, and none of them are without signification. 11 If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth, I shalbe lyke vnto hym that speaketh, an aliaunt: and he that speaketh, shalbe an aliaunt vnto me. 12 Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes seke that ye may excell, vnto the edifiyng of the Churche. 13 Wherfore, let him that speaketh with tongue, pray that he may interprete. 14 For yf I pray with tongue, my spirite prayeth, but my vnderstanding is without fruite. 15 What is it then? I wyll pray with the spirite, and wyll pray with the vnderstandyng also. I wyll syng with the spirite, and wyll syng with the vnderstandyng also. 16 Els, when thou blessest with the spirite, howe shall he that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned, say Amen at thy geuyng of thankes, seyng he vnderstandeth not what thou sayest? 17 Thou veryly geuest thankes well: but the other is not edified. 18 I thanke my God, I speake with tongues more the ye all. 19 Yet had I rather, in the Churche to speake fiue wordes with my vnderstandyng, to the information of other, then ten thousande wordes with the tongue. 20 Brethren, be not chyldren in wytte: Howbeit, as concerning maliciousnesse, be chyldren: but in wytte, be perfect. 21 In the lawe it is written: With sundry tongues, and with sundry lyppes, wyll I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. 22 Wherfore, tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleue, but to them that beleue not: But prophesiyng serueth not for them that beleue not, but for them which beleue. 23 If therfore, when all the Churche is come together in one, & all speake with tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: wyll they not say yt ye are out of your wittes? 24 But yf all prophesie, and there come in one ye beleueth not, or one vnlearned: he is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of euery man: 25 And so are the secretes of his heart made manifest, and so falleth he downe on his face, and worshippeth God, and sayth that God is in you of a trueth.
