Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
14 Sundin ninyo ang pagibig; gayon ma'y maningas ninyong pakanasain ang mga kaloob na ayon sa espiritu, nguni't lalo na ang kayo'y mangakapanghula.
2 Sapagka't ang nagsasalita ng wika ay hindi sa mga tao nagsasalita, kundi sa Dios; sapagka't walang nakauunawa sa kaniya; kundi sa espiritu ay nagsasalita ng mga hiwaga.
3 Datapuwa't ang nanghuhula ay nagsasalita sa mga tao sa ikatitibay, at sa ikapangangaral, at sa ikaaaliw.
4 Ang nagsasalita ng wika, ay nagpapatibay sa sarili; nguni't ang nanghuhula ay nagpapatibay sa iglesia.
5 Ibig ko sanang kayong lahat ay mangagsalita ng mga wika, datapuwa't lalo na ang kayo'y magsipanghula: at lalong dakila ang nanghuhula kay sa nagsasalita ng mga wika, maliban na kung siya'y magpapaliwanag upang ang iglesia ay mapagtibay.
6 Ngayon nga, mga kapatid, kung ako'y pumariyan sa inyo na nagsasalita ng mga wika, anong inyong pakikinabangin sa akin, maliban na kung kayo'y pagsalitaan ko sa pamamagitan ng pahayag, o ng kaalaman, o ng panghuhula, o ng aral?
7 Kahit ang mga bagay na walang buhay, na nagsisitunog, maging plauta, o alpa, kundi bigyan ng pagkakaiba ang mga tunog, paanong malalaman kung ano ang tinutugtog sa plauta o sa alpa?
8 Sapagka't kung ang pakakak ay tumunog na walang katiyakan, sino ang hahanda sa pakikibaka?
9 Gayon din naman kayo, kung hindi ipinangungusap ninyo ng dila ang mga salitang madaling maunawaan, paanong matatalos ang inyong sinasalita? sapagka't sa hangin kayo magsisipagsalita.
10 Halimbawa, mayroon ngang iba't ibang mga tinig sa sanglibutan, at walang di may kahulugan.
11 Kung hindi ko nga nalalaman ang kahulugan ng tinig, magiging barbaro ako sa nagsasalita, at ang nagsasalita ay magiging barbaro sa akin.
12 Gayon din naman kayo, na yamang kayo'y mapagsikap sa mga kaloob na ayon sa espiritu ay pagsikapan ninyong kayo'y magsisagana sa ikatitibay ng iglesia.
13 Kaya't ang nagsasalita ng wika ay manalangin na siya'y makapagpaliwanag.
14 Sapagka't kung ako'y nananalangin sa wika, ay nananalangin ang aking espiritu, datapuwa't ang aking pagiisip ay hindi namumunga.
15 Ano nga ito? Mananalangin ako sa espiritu, at mananalangin din naman ako sa pagiisip: aawit ako sa espiritu, at aawit din naman ako sa pagiisip.
16 Sa ibang paraan, kung ikaw ay nagpupuri sa espiritu, ang nasa kalagayan ng di marunong, paanong siya'y makapagsasabi ng Siya nawa, sa iyong pagpapasalamat, palibhasa'y hindi nalalaman ang inyong sinasabi?
17 Sapagka't ikaw sa katotohanan ay nagpapasalamat kang mabuti, datapuwa't ang iba'y hindi napapagtibay.
18 Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios, na ako'y nagsasalita ng mga wika na higit kay sa inyong lahat:
19 Nguni't sa iglesia ibig ko pang magsalita ng limang salita ng aking pagiisip, upang makapagturo ako naman sa iba, kay sa magsalita ng sangpung libong salita sa wika.
20 Mga kapatid, huwag kayong mangagpakabata sa pagiisip; gayon ma'y sa kahalayan ay mangagpakasanggol kayo, datapuwa't sa pagiisip kayo'y mangagpakatao.
21 Sa kautusan ay nasusulat, sa pamamagitan ng mga taong may iba't ibang wika, at sa pamamagitan ng mga labi ng mga taga ibang lupa ay magsasalita ako, sa bayang ito: at gayon ma'y hindi ako pakikinggan nila, ang sabi ng Panginoon.
22 Kaya nga ang mga wika ay pinaka tanda, hindi sa mga nagsisisampalataya; kundi sa mga hindi nagsisisampalataya; nguni't ang panghuhula ay hindi sa mga hindi nagsisisampalataya, kundi sa mga nagsisisampalataya.
23 Kung ang buong iglesia nga'y magkatipon sa isang dako at lahat ay mangagsalita ng mga wika, at mangagsipasok ang mga hindi marurunong o hindi mga nagsisisampalataya, hindi baga nila sasabihing kayo'y mga ulol?
24 Datapuwa't kung ang lahat ay nagsisipanghula, at may pumasok na isang hindi sumasampalataya, o hindi marunong, mahihikayat siya ng lahat, masisiyasat siya ng lahat;
25 Ang mga lihim ng kaniyang puso ay nahahayag; at sa gayo'y magpapatirapa siya at sasamba sa Dios, na sasabihing tunay ngang ang Dios ay nasa gitna ninyo.
26 Ano nga ito, mga kapatid? Pagka kayo'y nangagkakatipon ang bawa't isa sa inyo'y may isang awit, may isang aral, may isang pahayag, may wika, may isang pagpapaliwanag. Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng mga bagay sa ikatitibay.
27 Kung nagsasalita ang sinoman ng wika, maging dalawa, o huwag higit sa tatlo, at sunodsunod; at ang isa'y magpaliwanag:
28 Datapuwa't kung walang tagapagpaliwanag ay tumahimik siya sa iglesia; at siya'y magsalita sa kaniyang sarili, at sa Dios.
29 At ang dalawa o tatlo sa mga propeta ay magsipagsalita, at ang mga iba'y mangagsiyasat.
30 Datapuwa't kung may ipinahayag na anoman sa isang nauupo, ay tumahimik ang nauuna.
31 Sapagka't kayong lahat ay makapanghuhulang isa-isa, upang ang lahat ay mangatuto, at ang lahat ay maaralan;
32 At ang mga espiritu ng mga propeta ay nasasakupan ng mga propeta;
33 Sapagka't ang Dios ay hindi Dios ng kaguluhan, kundi ng kapayapaan. Gaya sa lahat ng mga iglesia ng mga banal,
34 Ang mga babae ay magsitahimik sa mga iglesia: sapagka't sila'y walang kapahintulutang mangagsalita; kundi sila'y pasakop, gaya naman ng sinasabi ng kautusan.
35 At kung ibig nilang maalaman ang anomang bagay, magtanong sila sa kanilang asawa sa bahay; sapagka't mahalay na ang isang babae ay magsalita sa iglesia.
36 Ano? lumabas baga mula sa inyo ang salita ng Dios? o sa inyo lamang dumating?
37 Kung iniisip ninoman na siya'y propeta, o ayon sa espiritu, ay kilalanin niya ang mga bagay na sa inyo'y isinusulat ko, na pawang utos ng Panginoon.
38 Datapuwa't kung ang sinoman ay mangmang, ay manatili siyang mangmang.
39 Kaya nga, mga kapatid ko, maningas na pakanasain ninyong makapanghula, at huwag ninyong ipagbawal ang magsalita ng mga wika.
40 Datapuwa't gawin ninyong may karapatan at may kaayusan ang lahat ng mga bagay.

El don de lenguas y el de profecía
14 Esfuércense en seguir el amor y ambicionen los dones espirituales, sobre todo el de profecía. 2 Porque el que habla en lenguas no habla a los demás, sino a Dios. En realidad, nadie entiende lo que dice, pues habla misterios por el Espíritu.[a] 3 En cambio, el que profetiza habla a los demás para edificarlos, animarlos y consolarlos. 4 El que habla en lenguas se edifica a sí mismo; en cambio, el que profetiza edifica a la iglesia. 5 Yo quisiera que todos ustedes hablaran en lenguas, pero mucho más que profetizaran. El que profetiza aventaja al que habla en lenguas, a menos que este también interprete, para que la iglesia reciba edificación.
6 Hermanos, si ahora fuera a visitarlos y hablara en lenguas, ¿de qué serviría a menos que presentara alguna revelación, conocimiento, profecía o enseñanza? 7 Aun en el caso de los instrumentos musicales, tales como la flauta o el arpa, ¿cómo se reconocerá lo que tocan si no dan distintamente sus sonidos? 8 Y si la trompeta no da un toque claro, ¿quién se va a preparar para la batalla? 9 Así sucede con ustedes. A menos que su lengua pronuncie palabras comprensibles, ¿cómo se sabrá lo que dicen? Será como si hablaran al aire. 10 ¡Quién sabe cuántos idiomas hay en el mundo! Además, ninguno carece de sentido. 11 Pero si no capto el sentido de lo que alguien dice, seré como un extranjero para el que me habla y él lo será para mí. 12 Por eso ustedes, que desean dones espirituales, procuren que estos abunden para la edificación de la iglesia.
13 Por esta razón, el que habla en lenguas pida en oración el don de interpretar lo que diga. 14 Porque, si yo oro en lenguas, mi espíritu ora, pero mi entendimiento no se beneficia en nada. 15 ¿Qué debo hacer entonces? Pues orar con el espíritu, pero también con el entendimiento; cantar con el espíritu, pero también con el entendimiento. 16 De otra manera, si alabas a Dios con el espíritu, ¿cómo puede quien no es instruido[b] decir «amén» a tu acción de gracias, puesto que no entiende lo que dices? 17 En ese caso tu acción de gracias es admirable, pero no edifica al otro.
18 Doy gracias a Dios porque hablo en lenguas más que todos ustedes. 19 Sin embargo, en la iglesia prefiero emplear cinco palabras comprensibles y que me sirvan para instruir a los demás que diez mil palabras en lenguas.
20 Hermanos, no sean niños en su modo de pensar. Sean niños en cuanto a la malicia, pero adultos en su modo de pensar. 21 En la Ley está escrito:
«Por medio de gente de labios extranjeros
y lenguas extrañas
hablaré a este pueblo,
pero ni aun así me escucharán»,[c]
dice el Señor.
22 De modo que el hablar en lenguas es una señal no para los creyentes, sino para los incrédulos; en cambio, la profecía no es señal para los incrédulos, sino para los creyentes. 23 Así que, si toda la iglesia se reúne y todos hablan en lenguas, y entran algunos que no entienden o no creen, ¿no dirán que ustedes están locos? 24 Pero si uno que no cree o uno que no entiende entra cuando todos están profetizando, se sentirá reprendido y juzgado por todos, 25 y los secretos de su corazón quedarán al descubierto. Así que se postrará ante Dios y lo adorará, exclamando: «¡Realmente Dios está entre ustedes!».
Orden en los cultos
26 ¿Qué concluimos, hermanos? Que, cuando se reúnan, cada uno puede tener un salmo, una enseñanza, una revelación, un mensaje en lenguas o una interpretación. Todo esto debe hacerse para la edificación de la iglesia. 27 Si se habla en lenguas, que hablen dos —o cuando mucho tres—, cada uno por turno y que alguien interprete. 28 Si no hay intérprete, que guarden silencio en la iglesia y cada uno hable para sí mismo y para Dios.
29 En cuanto a los profetas, que hablen dos o tres y que los demás examinen con cuidado lo dicho. 30 Si alguien que está sentado recibe una revelación, el que esté hablando ceda la palabra. 31 Así todos pueden profetizar por turno, para que todos reciban instrucción y aliento. 32 El don de profecía está[d] bajo el control de los profetas, 33 porque Dios no es un Dios de desorden, sino de paz.
Como es costumbre en las congregaciones de los creyentes, 34 guarden las mujeres silencio en la iglesia, pues no les está permitido hablar. Que estén sumisas, como lo establece la Ley. 35 Si quieren saber algo, que se lo pregunten en casa a sus esposos; porque no está bien visto que una mujer hable en la iglesia.
36 ¿Acaso la palabra de Dios procedió de ustedes? ¿O son ustedes los únicos que la han recibido? 37 Si alguno se cree profeta o espiritual, reconozca que esto que escribo es mandato del Señor. 38 Si no lo reconoce, tampoco él será reconocido.[e]
39 Así que, hermanos míos, ambicionen el don de profetizar y no prohíban que se hable en lenguas. 40 Pero todo debe hacerse de una manera apropiada y con orden.

Priorities in worship
14 Pursue love; and long for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 Someone who speaks in a tongue, you see, isn’t speaking to human beings but to God. Nobody can understand such speakers, because they speak mysteries in the spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to other people, to build them up, to strengthen them, and to console them. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself or herself; but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
5 I would be delighted for all of you to speak in tongues, but I would be even more delighted to have you all prophesying. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in a tongue, unless they also give an interpretation so that the church may be built up.
Speaking clearly in church
6 Well then, my brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how am I going to bring you any benefit unless I speak to you either in a revelation or in a word of knowledge or in a prophecy or in teaching? 7 It’s the same with lifeless objects that make a sound, like a flute or a lyre. If they don’t give a distinct note, how will anyone know what tune is being blown or plucked? 8 Think about it: if the trumpet doesn’t make a clear sound, who will get ready to fight?
9 It’s the same with you. Unless your tongue gives a distinct message, how will anyone be able to tell what you’re talking about? You will be like someone speaking into thin air. 10 To be sure, there are all kinds and types of languages in the world, and none of them is meaningless. 11 But if I don’t know the force of the words, I will remain a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me. 12 It’s the same with you. Since you are so eager for spiritual matters, try to specialize in doing things that will build up the church.
Praying with mind as well as spirit
13 So the one who speaks in a tongue should pray to be able to say the same thing in clear speech. 14 If I pray in a tongue, you see, my spirit prays, but my mind remains fruitless. 15 Why is that important? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the mind as well. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the mind as well. 16 You see, if you say a blessing in the spirit, how can someone who isn’t one of the inner circle say the “Amen” to your prayer? They won’t know what you’re talking about! 17 You may well be giving thanks in fine style, but the other person isn’t being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my mind, to teach other people, than a thousand words in a tongue.
Signs for believers and unbelievers
20 Brothers and sisters, don’t be children in your thinking. Be babies when it comes to evil, but in your thinking be grown-ups. 21 This is what it says in the law: “I will speak to this people in foreign languages and with the lips of strangers, and even so they won’t listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 So tongues are not meant for believers, but are a warning for unbelievers; while prophecy is not designed for unbelievers, but for those who come to faith. 23 What I mean is this: if the whole assembly comes together and everybody speaks in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers come in, they’ll say you’re crazy, won’t they? 24 But if everyone prophesies, and outsiders or unbelievers come in, they will be called to account by everyone, judged by everyone, 25 the secrets of their hearts will be laid bare, and so they will fall down on their faces and worship God, declaring that “God is truly among you.”
Final instructions for worship
26 So where does this leave us, my brothers and sisters? When you come together, one person has a psalm, another some teaching, another a revelation, another a tongue, and another some interpretation. Let everything be done for the general upbuilding. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, there should be two or at most three, each taking their turn, and one of them should put it into plain speech. 28 But if none of them can do that, let them be silent in the assembly, and speak to themselves and to God.
29 As for prophets, let two or three speak, and the others evaluate what is said. 30 If fresh revelation comes to someone sitting there, the first person should be silent. 31 You can all prophesy one by one, so that everyone can learn, and everyone can be encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are under the control of prophets, 33 since God is the God, not of chaos, but of peace.
As in all the assemblies of God’s people, 34 the women should keep silence in the assemblies. They are not permitted to speak; they should remain in submission, just as the law declares. 35 If they want to understand something more, they should ask their own husbands when they get home. It’s shameful, you see, for a woman to speak in the assembly. 36 Do you suppose God’s word began with you? Are you the only ones it has reached?
37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet, or spiritual, they should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command. 38 If anyone disregards this, they can be disregarded.
39 So, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a seemly fashion, and in proper order.

Intelligibility in Worship
14 Follow the way of love(A) and eagerly desire(B) gifts of the Spirit,(C) especially prophecy.(D) 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a](E) does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them;(F) they utter mysteries(G) by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,(H) encouraging(I) and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue(J) edifies(K) themselves, but the one who prophesies(L) edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[b] but I would rather have you prophesy.(M) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[c] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.(N)
6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation(O) or knowledge(P) or prophecy or word of instruction?(Q) 7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? 8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?(R) 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.(S) 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit,(T) try to excel in those that build up(U) the church.
13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.(V) 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,(W) but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit,(X) but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing(Y) with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[d] say “Amen”(Z) to your thanksgiving,(AA) since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.(AB)
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.(AC)
20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children.(AD) In regard to evil be infants,(AE) but in your thinking be adults. 21 In the Law(AF) it is written:
“With other tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,(AG)
says the Lord.”[e]
22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,(AH) however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?(AI) 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets(AJ) of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”(AK)
Good Order in Worship
26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters?(AL) When you come together, each of you(AM) has a hymn,(AN) or a word of instruction,(AO) a revelation, a tongue(AP) or an interpretation.(AQ) Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.(AR) 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29 Two or three prophets(AS) should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.(AT) 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.(AU) 33 For God is not a God of disorder(AV) but of peace(AW)—as in all the congregations(AX) of the Lord’s people.(AY)
34 Women[f] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak,(AZ) but must be in submission,(BA) as the law(BB) says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.[g]
36 Or did the word of God(BC) originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet(BD) or otherwise gifted by the Spirit,(BE) let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.(BF) 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.[h]
39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager(BG) to prophesy,(BH) and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly(BI) way.
