哥林多前书 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
论讲道和说方言
14 你们要追求爱,也要切慕属灵的恩赐,尤其是做先知讲道的恩赐。 2 人说方言,是对上帝说的,并非对人说的,因为没有人听得懂,他是在心灵里述说各样的奥秘。 3 但先知讲道是对人讲的,为了要造就、鼓励、安慰人。 4 说方言只是造就自己,但做先知讲道是造就教会。 5 我希望你们都能够说方言,不过,我更希望你们都能做先知讲道。说方言的不如做先知讲道的重要,除非把方言翻译出来,使教会得造就。
6 弟兄姊妹,如果我到你们那里只说方言,不讲解有关上帝的启示、知识、预言、教导,我对你们有什么益处呢? 7 就连没有生命的箫和琴,如果发出的声音杂乱无章,谁能知道所吹所弹的是什么曲子呢? 8 如果号声不清楚,谁会预备打仗呢? 9 同样,除非你们讲出清楚的信息,不然听见的人怎能明白呢?那岂不等于对空气说话吗? 10 世上有各种语言,却没有一种是毫无意义的。 11 如果有人对我说话,我却不明白他的语言,我们彼此就成了语言不通的人。 12 你们也是一样,既然渴慕属灵的恩赐,就应该多多追求造就教会的恩赐。
13 所以说方言的人应当祈求能把方言翻译出来。 14 如果我用方言祷告,那是我的灵在祷告,但我的悟性没有发挥作用。 15 那么,我该怎么做呢?我要用灵祷告,也要用悟性祷告;我要用灵歌唱,也要用悟性歌唱。 16 否则,如果你在聚会中用方言[a]来感恩,在座不懂方言的人不明白你在说些什么,怎能在你感恩的时候说“阿们”呢? 17 你的感恩表达得固然美好,无奈不能造就别人。
18 感谢上帝,我说方言比你们众人都多。 19 但在教会中我宁可用悟性说五句教导人的话,胜过说万句别人不懂的方言。
20 弟兄姊妹,你们的思想不要像小孩子,要长大成熟,但在罪恶的事上要像婴孩。 21 律法书上记载:
“主说,‘我要借着讲陌生语言的人和外邦人的口向这些子民说话。
虽然如此,
他们仍然不听从我。’”
22 由此可见,讲方言不是显给信徒的标记,而是显给非信徒的标记;但先知讲道是显给信徒的标记,不是显给非信徒的标记。 23 所以,如果你们在聚会中,全体信徒都说方言,偶然有不懂方言的人或非信徒进来,他们岂不会说你们全都疯了吗? 24 但如果你们都做先知讲道,偶然有非信徒或是不懂方言的人进来,他会醒悟到自己的罪,良心受到谴责, 25 心中的秘密也会显露出来,便会俯伏敬拜上帝,说:“上帝真的在你们当中!”
聚会的原则
26 那么,弟兄姊妹,你们该怎么做呢?你们聚会的时候,不管是唱诗、教导、讲启示、说方言或翻译方言,都应该是为了造就人。 27 如果有人要说方言,应当只限于两个人,最多三个,要轮流说,而且要有人把它翻译出来。 28 如果没有人翻译,说方言的人就当在聚会中闭口不言,只向自己和上帝说。
29 做先知讲道的也应该限于两三个人,其他的人应当慎思明辨。 30 但如果上帝的启示临到在座的其他人,正在讲的人要停下来, 31 这样大家都可以轮流讲道,人人都可以得到教导和勉励。 32 先知的灵受先知控制, 33 因为上帝不是叫人混乱的上帝,而是赐人平安的上帝。
34 正如圣徒的各教会一样,妇女[b]在聚会中要保持安静,因为她们不可以发言,总要顺服,正如律法书所说的。 35 如果她们想要学什么,可以在家问自己的丈夫,因为妇女在聚会中发言是可耻的。 36 难道上帝的道是出自你们哥林多人吗?难道上帝的道单单传给了你们吗? 37 如果你们当中有人自认为是先知或属灵的人,他就应该知道我现在所写的是主的命令。 38 如果有人对此视而不见,不必理会他。
39 所以,我的弟兄姊妹,你们要切慕做先知讲道,也不要禁止说方言。 40 但无论做什么事,都要按规矩,有次序。
哥林多前书 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
講道與說方言的恩賜
14 你們要追求愛,也要熱切地渴慕屬靈的恩賜,特別是先知講道的恩賜。 2 原來那說方言的不是對人說,而是對 神說,因為沒有人能聽得懂;他是在靈裡講奧祕的事。 3 但那講道的是對人講說,使他們得著造就、安慰和勸勉。 4 那說方言的是造就自己,但那講道的是造就教會。 5 我願意你們都說方言,但我更願意你們都講道;因為那說方言的,如果不翻譯出來使教會得著造就,就遠不如那講道的了。
6 弟兄們,你們想想,如果我到你們那裡去,只說方言,不向你們講有關啟示、知識、預言,或教訓的話,那我對你們有甚麼益處呢? 7 甚至那些沒有生命卻能發聲的東西,例如簫或琴,如果音調不分,怎能使人知道所彈所奏的是甚麼呢? 8 又如果軍號所發的聲音不清楚,誰會準備作戰呢? 9 你們也是這樣,如果用舌頭發出人聽不懂的話來,人怎會知道你所講的是甚麼呢?這樣,你們就是向空氣說話了。 10 世上有那麼多種語言,但沒有一種是沒有意義的。 11 我若不明白某一種語言的意思,在那講的人來看,我就是個外國人;在我來說,那講話的人也是個外國人。 12 你們也是這樣,你們既然熱切地渴慕屬靈的恩賜,就應當追求多多得著造就教會的恩賜。 13 所以,說方言的應當祈求,使他能把方言翻譯出來。 14 我若用方言禱告,是我的靈在禱告,我的理智並沒有作用。 15 那麼我應當怎樣行呢?我要用靈禱告,也要用理智禱告;我要用靈歌唱,也要用理智歌唱。 16 不然,如果你用靈讚美,在場那些不明白的人,因為不知道你在說甚麼,怎能在你感謝的時候說“阿們”呢? 17 你感謝固然是好,但別人卻得不著造就。 18 我感謝 神,我說方言比你們大家都多。 19 但在教會中,我寧願用理智說五句話去教導人,勝過用方言說萬句話。
20 弟兄們,你們在思想上不要作小孩子,卻要在惡事上作嬰孩,在思想上作成年人。 21 律法上記著說:“主說:
我要藉著說別種話的人,
用外國人的嘴唇,
對這人民說話;
雖然這樣,他們還是不聽我。”
22 可見說方言不是要給信主的人作記號,而是要給未信的人;講道不是要給未信的人,而是要給信主的人作記號。 23 所以,如果全教會聚在一起的時候,大家都說方言,有不明白的人或未信的人進來,不是要說你們瘋了嗎? 24 如果大家都講道,有未信的人或不明白的人進來,他就會被眾人勸服而知罪,被眾人審問了。 25 他心裡隱祕的事被顯露出來,他就必俯伏敬拜 神,宣告說:“ 神真的是在你們中間了。”
神不是混亂而是和平的
26 弟兄們,那麼應該怎麼辦呢?你們聚集在一起的時候,各人或有詩歌,或有教訓,或有啟示,或有方言,或有翻譯出來的話,一切都應該能造就人。 27 如果有人說方言,只可以有兩個人,或最多三個人,並且要輪流說,同時要有一個人翻譯。 28 如果沒有人翻譯,他就應當在會中閉口,只對自己和對 神說好了。 29 講道的,也只可以兩三個人講,其餘的人要衡量他們所講的。 30 在座的有人得了啟示,那先講的人就應當住口。 31 因為你們都可以輪流講道,好讓大家都可以學習,都可以得到勉勵。 32 先知的靈是受先知控制的, 33 因為 神不是混亂的,而是和平的。 34 婦女在聚會中應當閉口,好像在聖徒的眾教會中一樣,因為她們是不准講話的;就如律法所說的,她們應該順服。 35 如果她們想要學甚麼,可以在家裡問自己的丈夫,因為婦女在聚會中講話原是可恥的。 36 難道 神的道是從你們出來的嗎?是單單臨到你們的嗎?
37 如果有人自以為是先知或是屬靈的,他就應該知道我寫給你們的是主的命令; 38 如果有人不理會,別人也不必理會他。 39 所以我的弟兄們,你們要熱切地追求講道的恩賜,也不要禁止說方言。 40 凡事都要規規矩矩地按著次序行。
1 Corinthians 14
BRG Bible
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.(A)
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.
