哥林多前书 14
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
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。

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。

Prophecy and Tongues
14 (A)Pursue love, yet (B)earnestly desire (C)spiritual gifts, but especially that you may (D)prophesy. 2 For one who (E)speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one [a]understands, but [b]in his spirit he speaks (F)mysteries. 3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for (G)edification and (H)exhortation and encouragement. 4 One who (I)speaks in a tongue (J)edifies himself; but one who (K)prophesies (L)edifies the church. 5 But I wish that you all (M)spoke in tongues, but (N)even more that you would prophesy. And greater is one who prophesies than one who (O)speaks in tongues, unless he [c]translates, so that the church may receive (P)edification.
6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit 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 things, either 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 also you, unless you utter by the tongue a word that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be (V)speaking into the air. 10 There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of sounds in the world, and none is without meaning. 11 If then I do not know the meaning of the sound, I will be to the one who speaks a [d](W)barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a [e]barbarian [f]to me. 12 So also you, since you are zealous for [g]spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the (X)edification of the church.
13 Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may [h]translate. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 (Y)What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will (Z)sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. 16 Otherwise if you bless [i]in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the [j]uninformed say (AA)the “Amen” at your (AB)giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not (AC)edified. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all; 19 however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 (AD)Brothers, (AE)do not be children in your thinking; rather in evil (AF)be infants, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In (AG)the 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 [k]Lord. 22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but (AI)prophecy is for a sign not to unbelievers but to those who believe. 23 Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and [l]uninformed men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that (AJ)you are out of your mind? 24 But if all (AK)prophesy, and an unbeliever or an [m]uninformed man 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, declaring that (AO)surely God is among you.
Orderly Worship
26 (AP)What is the outcome then, (AQ)brothers? When you assemble, (AR)each one has a (AS)psalm, has a (AT)teaching, has a (AU)revelation, has a (AV)tongue, has a [n](AW)translation. Let (AX)all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a (AY)tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must [o](AZ)translate; 28 but if there is no [p]translator, he must keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 And let two or three (BA)prophets speak, and let the others (BB)pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 32 And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of (BC)confusion but of [q]peace, as in (BD)all the churches of the (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 But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church. 36 [r]Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it arrived to you only?
37 (BI)If anyone thinks 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 remains ignorant about this, he [s]is ignored by God.
39 Therefore, my brothers, (BL)earnestly desire to (BM)prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. 40 But (BN)all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.

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.
