• 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.
