先知传道——更超卓的恩赐

14 你们要追求爱，也要渴慕属灵的事[a]，但更要渴慕做先知传道[b]。 2 原来那说殊言[c]的，不是对人说，而是对神说，因为没有人听得懂；他是在灵里讲说各样的奥秘。 3 可是那做先知传道的是对人说，为要造就、鼓励和安慰人。 4 那说殊言的是造就自己，但那做先知传道的是造就教会。 5 我虽然希望你们都说殊言，但更希望你们都做先知传道。因为，除非说殊言的能把殊言翻译出来使教会得到造就，否则那做先知传道的就比说殊言的更大了。

6 所以弟兄们，就算我现在到你们那里去，用殊言说话，但如果不用启示、知识、预言[d]、或教导来对你们说话，那么我对你们有什么益处呢？ 7 甚至是那些没有生命却能发出声音的东西，例如笛子或竖琴，如果发出的音调没有分别，怎么能使人知道所吹所弹的是什么呢？ 8 实际上，如果号角发出的声音真的不清楚，谁会准备好出战呢？ 9 照样，如果你们用舌头说出不可理解的话，那么所说的怎么能使人明白呢？这样，你们就是向空气说话了。 10 世界上也许有好多种语言，但没有一种是没有意思的。 11 所以，如果我不明白那语言的意思，那么，对于说话的人，我就是个外族人；对于我，那说话的人也是个外族人。 12 你们也是这样：既然你们对属灵的事[e]是热心人，就应当追求造就教会的事，好让你们能丰足有余。

13 所以，说殊言的人应当祷告，好让自己能翻译出来。 14 如果我用殊言祷告，是我的灵在祷告，但我的理性却是结不出果子的。 15 那么该怎么办呢？我要用灵祷告，也要用理性祷告；我要用灵歌颂，也要用理性歌颂。 16 否则，如果你用灵祝谢，在场的那些不明白的人，既然不知道你在说什么，怎么能在你感谢的时候说“阿们”呢？ 17 因为你感谢的固然是好，但别人却没有得造就。 18 我感谢神，我说殊言比你们所有人都多； 19 但是在教会里，为了要教导别人，我宁愿用我的理性说五句话，也不愿用殊言说万句话。

20 弟兄们，你们在思想上不要做小孩子，但是在恶事上要做婴孩，在思想上要做成熟的人[f]。 21 律法书上记着：“主说：

‘我要藉着说别种语言的人，
藉着别人的嘴唇对这子民说话。
即使这样，他们也不会听我的。’”[g]

22 这样，说殊言不是给信的人做为标记，而是给不信的人；但做先知传道[h]不是给不信的人做为标记，而是给信的人。 23 所以，如果全教会聚集在一起，大家都说殊言，有不明白殊言的，或不信的人进来，他们难道不会说你们都疯了吗？ 24 但如果大家都做先知传道，有一个不信的或不明白的人进来，他就会因这一切而知罪、受到责问， 25 他心中隐秘的事就会显露出来。这样，他就会把脸伏在地上敬拜神，承认说：“神真的是在你们中间！”

聚会的秩序

26 弟兄们，那么该怎么办呢？你们聚集的时候，各人或有诗歌，或有教导，或有启示，或有殊言，或有翻译出来的话语——一切都要为了造就人。 27 如果有人说殊言，就应该只有两个人，或最多三个人，而且要轮流说，也要有一个人翻译。 28 如果没有翻译的人，他就应当在教会里保持沉默，只对自己和神说话。 29 做先知传道的[i]也应该两个人或三个人讲，其他的人应当分辨。 30 如果在坐的人中另有人得了启示，那先讲的就应当保持沉默。 31 因为你们都可以一个一个地做先知传道，好让大家都能学，都得到鼓励。 32 先知的灵是服从先知的， 33 因为神不是混乱的神，而是和平的神。

正如在圣徒的各教会那样， 34 妇女在教会应当保持沉默，因为她们没有获准讲话；就像律法上所说的那样，她们要服从。 35 如果她们想请教什么，就应该在家里问自己的丈夫，因为妇女在教会里讲话是可耻的。 36 难道神的话语[j]是从你们出来的吗？难道只是临到你们吗？

37 如果有人自以为是做先知传道的[k]，或是属灵的，就应该承认：我写给你们的是主的命令； 38 但如果有人不承认，他也不会被承认。[l] 39 所以，我的弟兄们，你们要渴慕做先知传道，也不要禁止说殊言。 40 然而，一切事都要行得端正，并且要按着秩序行。

Prophecy a Superior Gift

14 (A)Pursue love, yet earnestly (B)desire (C)spiritual gifts, but especially that you may (D)prophesy. 2 For the one who (E)speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one [a]understands, but [b]in his spirit he speaks (F)mysteries. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for (G)edification, [c](H)exhortation, and consolation. 4 The one who (I)speaks in a tongue (J)edifies himself; but the one who (K)prophesies (L)edifies the church. 5 Now I wish that you all (M)spoke in tongues, but (N)rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who (O)speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive (P)edification.

6 But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of (Q)revelation, or of (R)knowledge, or of (S)prophecy, or of (T)teaching? 7 Yet even lifeless instruments, whether flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? 8 For if (U)the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 9 So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be (V)talking to the air. 10 There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of [d]languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning. 11 So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be (W)unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible [e]to me. 12 So you too, since you are eager to possess [f]spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the (X)edification of the church.

13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue is to pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive. 15 (Y)What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will (Z)sing with the spirit, but I will sing with the mind also. 16 For otherwise, if you bless God [g]in the spirit only, how will the one who occupies the place of the [h]outsider know to say (AA)the “Amen” at your (AB)giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you are saying? 17 For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not (AC)edified. 18 I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19 nevertheless, in church I prefer to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Instruction for the Church

20 (AD)Brothers and sisters, (AE)do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil (AF)be infants, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In (AG)the [i]Law it is written: “(AH)By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me,” says the Lord. 22 So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but (AI)prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe. 23 Therefore if the whole church gathers together and all the people speak in tongues, and [j]outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that (AJ)you are insane? 24 But if all (AK)prophesy, and an unbeliever or an [k]outsider enters, he is (AL)convicted by all, he is called to account by all; 25 (AM)the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will (AN)fall on his face and worship God, (AO)declaring that God is certainly among you.

26 (AP)What is the outcome then, (AQ)brothers and sisters? When you assemble, (AR)each one has a (AS)psalm, has a (AT)teaching, has a (AU)revelation, has a (AV)tongue, has an (AW)interpretation. (AX)All things are to be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a (AY)tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to (AZ)interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God. 29 Have two or three (BA)prophets speak, and have the others (BB)pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, then the first one is to keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be [l]exhorted; 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of (BC)confusion, but of peace.

As in (BD)all the churches of the [m](BE)saints, 34 the women are to (BF)keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but (BG)are to subject themselves, just as (BH)the Law also says. 35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is [n]improper for a woman to speak in church. 36 Or was it from you that the word of God first went out? Or has it come to you only?

37 (BI)If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or (BJ)spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you (BK)are the Lord’s commandment. 38 But if anyone does not recognize this, [o]he is not recognized.

39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, (BL)earnestly desire to (BM)prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But (BN)all things must be done properly and in an orderly way.

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.
