哥林多前書 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
論講道和說方言
14 你們要追求愛，也要切慕屬靈的恩賜，尤其是作先知講道的恩賜。 2 人說方言，是對上帝說的，並非對人說的，因為沒有人聽得懂，他是在心靈裡述說各樣的奧祕。 3 但先知講道是對人講的，為了要造就、鼓勵、安慰人。 4 說方言只是造就自己，但作先知講道是造就教會。 5 我希望你們都能夠說方言，不過，我更希望你們都能作先知講道。說方言的不如作先知講道的重要，除非把方言翻譯出來，使教會得造就。
6 弟兄姊妹，如果我到你們那裡只說方言，不講解有關上帝的啟示、知識、預言、教導，我對你們有什麼益處呢？ 7 就連沒有生命的簫和琴，如果發出的聲音雜亂無章，誰能知道所吹所彈的是什麼曲子呢？ 8 如果號聲不清楚，誰會預備打仗呢？ 9 同樣，除非你們講出清楚的信息，不然聽見的人怎能明白呢？那豈不等於對空氣說話嗎？ 10 世上有各種語言，卻沒有一種是毫無意義的。 11 如果有人對我說話，我卻不明白他的語言，我們彼此就成了語言不通的人。 12 你們也是一樣，既然渴慕屬靈的恩賜，就應該多多追求造就教會的恩賜。
13 所以說方言的人應當祈求能把方言翻譯出來。 14 如果我用方言禱告，那是我的靈在禱告，但我的悟性沒有發揮作用。 15 那麼，我該怎麼做呢？我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告；我要用靈歌唱，也要用悟性歌唱。 16 否則，如果你在聚會中用方言[a]來感恩，在座不懂方言的人不明白你在說些什麼，怎能在你感恩的時候說「阿們」呢？ 17 你的感恩表達得固然美好，無奈不能造就別人。
18 感謝上帝，我說方言比你們眾人都多。 19 但在教會中我寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話，勝過說萬句別人不懂的方言。
20 弟兄姊妹，你們的思想不要像小孩子，要長大成熟，但在罪惡的事上要像嬰孩。 21 律法書上記載：
「主說，『我要藉著講陌生語言的人和外邦人的口向這些子民說話。
雖然如此，
他們仍然不聽從我。』」
22 由此可見，講方言不是顯給信徒的標記，而是顯給非信徒的標記；但先知講道是顯給信徒的標記，不是顯給非信徒的標記。 23 所以，如果你們在聚會中，全體信徒都說方言，偶然有不懂方言的人或非信徒進來，他們豈不會說你們全都瘋了嗎？ 24 但如果你們都做先知講道，偶然有非信徒或是不懂方言的人進來，他會醒悟到自己的罪，良心受到譴責， 25 心中的秘密也會顯露出來，便會俯伏敬拜上帝，說：「上帝真的在你們當中！」
聚會的原則
26 那麼，弟兄姊妹，你們該怎麼做呢？你們聚會的時候，不管是唱詩、教導、講啟示、說方言或翻譯方言，都應該是為了造就人。 27 如果有人要說方言，應當只限於兩個人，最多三個，要輪流說，而且要有人把它翻譯出來。 28 如果沒有人翻譯，說方言的人就當在聚會中閉口不言，只向自己和上帝說。
29 作先知講道的也應該限於兩三個人，其他的人應當慎思明辨。 30 但如果上帝的啟示臨到在座的其他人，正在講的人要停下來， 31 這樣大家都可以輪流講道，人人都可以得到教導和勉勵。 32 先知的靈受先知控制， 33 因為上帝不是叫人混亂的上帝，而是賜人平安的上帝。
34 正如聖徒的各教會一樣，婦女[b]在聚會中要保持安靜，因為她們不可以發言，總要順服，正如律法書所說的。 35 如果她們想要學什麼，可以在家問自己的丈夫，因為婦女在聚會中發言是可恥的。 36 難道上帝的道是出自你們哥林多人嗎？難道上帝的道單單傳給了你們嗎？ 37 如果你們當中有人自認為是先知或屬靈的人，他就應該知道我現在所寫的是主的命令。 38 如果有人對此視而不見，不必理會他。
39 所以，我的弟兄姊妹，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。 40 但無論做什麼事，都要按規矩，有次序。
1 Corinthians 14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
14 Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
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.
3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
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.
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?
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?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
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.
10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
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.
12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
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.
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.
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
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.
20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
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.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
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.
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.
36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
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.
38 But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
