    1 Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

    2 for he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

    3 and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

    4 he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

    5 and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

    6 And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?

    7 yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?

    8 for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?

    9 so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

    10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

    12 so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

    13 wherefore he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;

    14 for if I pray in an `unknown' tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.

    15 What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;

    16 since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

    17 for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

    18 I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking --

    19 but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an `unknown' tongue.

    20 Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;

    21 in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'

    22 so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy `is' not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

    23 If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

    24 and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

    1 If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

    2 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

    3 and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

    27 if an `unknown' tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

    28 and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.
