Първо Коринтяни 14
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Използване на дарбите в богослужението
14 (A)Силно се стремете към любовта, проявявайте усърдие към духовните дарби, а особено към пророчестване, 2 (B)защото онзи, които говори непознат език, говори не на хора, а на Бога, понеже никой не разбира, но той с духа си изговаря тайни. 3 Онзи обаче, който пророчества, той говори на хора за поука, наставление и утеха. 4 Който говори непознат език, себе си поучава, а който пророчества, поучава църквата. 5 (C)Желая всички да говорите разни езици, но още повече – да пророчествате, защото този, който пророчества, е по-важен от онзи, който говори езици, освен ако ги тълкува, за да поучи църквата.
6 Ако сега, братя, дойда при вас и говоря непознати езици, каква полза ще ви принеса, щом не ви говоря било чрез откровение или знание, било чрез пророчество или поучение? 7 И бездушните предмети като кавал или гусла, които издават звуци, ако не издадат разделни звукове, как ще се познае какво се свири на кавала или на гуслата? 8 И ако тръбата издаваше неопределен звук, кой щеше да се приготви за битка? 9 Също така и вие, ако не изговаряте с езика си разбрани думи, как ще се разбере какво казвате? Защото ще говорите на вятъра. 10 Има кой знае колко много езици в света и никой от тях не е безсмислен; 11 ако обаче не разбирам езика, който се говори, за говорещия ще бъда чужденец и говорещият ще бъде чужденец за мене. 12 Също така и вие, понеже ревностно желаете духовни дарби, стремете се да получите в изобилие онези от тях, които са за поука на църквата.
13 Затова който говори на непознат език, нека се моли и за дарба да тълкува, 14 защото, ако се моля на непознат език, духът ми се моли, но умът ми остава безучастен. 15 Какво следва значи? Ще се моля с духа си, но ще се моля и с ума; ще пея с духа си, но ще пея и с ума. 16 (D)Защото ако благословиш с духа си, как обикновеният вярващ ще каже „амин“ на твоята благодарствена молитва, като не знае какво говориш? 17 Ти добре благодариш, но другият не се поучава. 18 Благодаря на своя[a] Бог, че повече от всички вас говоря непознати езици, 19 но в църква предпочитам да кажа пет думи на разбираем език, за да поуча и други, отколкото безброй думи на непознат език.
20 (E)Братя, не бъдете деца по ум. Бъдете незлобиви като деца, но разсъждавайте като зрели хора. 21 (F)В Закона е писано: „На чужди езици и с чужда уста ще говоря на този народ, но и в такъв случай няма да Ме послушат, казва Господ.“ 22 Така че езиците са белег не за вярващите, а за невярващите, докато пророчеството не е за невярващите, а за вярващите. 23 Ако например се събере цялата църква заедно и всички заговорят на непознати езици, и влязат неподготвени или невярващи, няма ли да си рекат, че сте полудели? 24 Ако обаче всички пророчестват и влезе някой невярващ или неподготвен, той от всички се изобличава, от всички се осъжда 25 (G)и така се разкриват тайните на сърцето му. Тогава той ще падне по очи да се поклони на Бога и ще изповяда: „Наистина Бог е с вас!“
Всичко да става с приличие и ред
26 Какво следва от това, братя? Когато се събирате и всеки от вас има да предложи било псалом, било поучение, било език, било откровение, било тълкуване, всичко да става за поука. 27 Ако някои говорят на непознат език, да говорят по двама или най-много по трима, и то един след друг, а един да тълкува. 28 Ако пък няма тълкувател, те да мълчат в църква, а да говорят на себе си и на Бога. 29 От пророците да говорят двама или трима, а другите да преценяват. 30 Но ако дойде откровение на друг, който седи, първият да млъкне. 31 Така един след друг можете всички да пророкувате, та всички да се поучават и всички да се насърчават. 32 А пророческите дарби са подчинени на пророците, 33 защото Бог не е Бог на безредие, а на мир. Както е по всички църкви между вярващите. 34 (H)Жените ви[b] в църковните събирания да мълчат – на тях не е позволено да говорят, а както казва и Законът, да се подчиняват. 35 Ако пък искат нещо да научат, да питат мъжете си вкъщи, понеже е срамота жена да говори в църква. 36 Нима от вас излезе Божието слово или само до вас достигна?
37 Ако някой смята, че е пророк или че има духовна дарба, той трябва да разбере, че това, което ви пиша, са заповеди на Господа. 38 А който не разбира, нека не разбира[c]. 39 (I)Така че, братя, стремете се ревностно към пророчестване, но не пречете да се говорят и непознати езици. 40 Нека всичко става с приличие и ред.
1 Corinthians 14
King James Version
14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the 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 ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14
New King James Version
Prophecy and Tongues
14 Pursue love, and (A)desire spiritual gifts, (B)but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who (C)speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks (D)edification and (E)exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; [a]for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
Tongues Must Be Interpreted
6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by (F)revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without [b]significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a [c]foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are [d]zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the [e]edification of the church that you seek to excel.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may (G)interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. (H)I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing (I)with the understanding. 16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” (J)at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? 17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers
20 Brethren, (K)do not be children in understanding; however, in malice (L)be babes, but in understanding be mature.
21 (M)In the law it is written:
(N)“With men of other tongues and other lips
I will speak to this people;
And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,”
says the Lord.
22 Therefore tongues are for a (O)sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. 23 Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, (P)will they not say that you are [f]out of your mind? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. 25 [g]And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report (Q)that God is truly among you.
Order in Church Meetings
26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, (R)has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. (S)Let all things be done for [h]edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and (T)let the others judge. 30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, (U)let the first keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And (V)the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of [i]confusion but of peace, (W)as in all the churches of the saints.
34 (X)Let [j]your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the (Y)law also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.
36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? 37 (Z)If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But [k]if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Therefore, brethren, (AA)desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 40 (AB)Let all things be done decently and in order.
