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.

La Bible du Semeur

Le parler en langues et la prophétie

14 Ainsi, recherchez avant tout l’amour ; aspirez en outre aux manifestations de l’Esprit, et surtout à prophétiser.

2 Celui qui parle dans une langue inconnue s’adresse à Dieu et non aux hommes : personne ne comprend les paroles mystérieuses qu’il prononce sous l’inspiration de l’Esprit. 3 Mais celui qui prophétise aide les autres à grandir dans la foi, les encourage et les réconforte. 4 Celui qui parle dans une langue inconnue ne se fait du bien qu’à lui-même ; mais celui qui prophétise permet à toute l’assemblée de grandir dans la foi. 5 Je veux bien que vous sachiez tous parler dans des langues inconnues, mais je préférerais que vous prophétisiez. Celui qui prophétise est plus utile que celui qui s’exprime dans une langue inconnue – sauf si quelqu’un traduit ce dernier pour que l’Eglise puisse grandir dans la foi.

6 Supposez, frères et sœurs, que je vienne chez vous et que je m’exprime exclusivement dans ces langues inconnues, sans vous apporter aucune révélation, aucune connaissance nouvelle, aucune prophétie, aucun enseignement. Quel profit tireriez-vous de ma présence ?

7 Voyez ce qui se passe pour des instruments de musique comme la flûte ou la harpe. Comment reconnaîtra-t-on la mélodie jouée sur l’un ou l’autre de ces instruments s’ils ne rendent pas de sons distincts ? 8 Et qui se préparera pour la bataille si le signal que donne la trompette n’est pas parfaitement clair ? 9 Il en va de même pour vous : comment saura-t-on ce que vous voulez dire si, en utilisant ces langues inconnues, vous ne prononcez que des paroles inintelligibles ? Vous parlerez en l’air !

10 Il existe, dans le monde, un grand nombre de langues différentes, dont aucune n’est dépourvue de sens. 11 Mais si j’ignore le sens des mots utilisés par mon interlocuteur, je serai un étranger pour lui, et lui de même le sera pour moi.

12 Vous donc, puisque vous aspirez si ardemment aux manifestations de l’Esprit, recherchez avant tout à posséder en abondance celles qui contribuent à faire grandir l’Eglise dans la foi.

13 C’est pourquoi, celui qui parle en langues inconnues doit demander à Dieu de lui donner de traduire ce qu’il dit en langage compréhensible. 14 Car si je prie en langues inconnues, mon esprit est en prière, mais mon intelligence n’intervient pas[a].

15 Que ferai-je donc ? Je prierai avec mon esprit[b], mais je prierai aussi avec mon intelligence. Je chanterai les louanges de Dieu avec mon esprit, mais je chanterai aussi avec mon intelligence. 16 Autrement, si tu remercies le Seigneur uniquement avec ton esprit, comment l’auditeur non averti, assis dans l’assemblée, pourra-t-il répondre « Amen » à ta prière de reconnaissance, puisqu’il ne comprend pas ce que tu dis ? 17 Ta prière de reconnaissance a beau être sublime, l’autre ne grandit pas dans sa foi.

18 Je remercie Dieu de ce que je parle en langues inconnues plus que vous tous. 19 Cependant, lors des réunions de l’Eglise, je préfère dire seulement cinq paroles compréhensibles pour instruire aussi les autres, plutôt que dix mille mots dans une langue inconnue.

20 Frères et sœurs, ne soyez pas des enfants dans votre façon de juger des choses. Pour le mal, soyez des petits enfants, mais dans le domaine du jugement, montrez-vous adultes.

21 Il est dit dans l’Ecriture :

Je parlerai à ce peuple ╵dans une langue étrangère ╵par des lèvres d’étrangers,
et même alors, ils ne m’écouteront pas,
dit le Seigneur[c] .

22 Ainsi, les paroles en langues inconnues sont un signe de Dieu, non pour les croyants, mais ceux qui ne croient pas ; les prophéties, elles, sont un signe, non pour les incroyants, mais pour ceux qui croient.

23 En effet, imaginez que l’Eglise se réunisse tout entière, et que tous parlent en des langues inconnues : si des personnes non averties ou des incroyants surviennent, ne diront-ils pas que vous avez perdu la raison ? 24 Si, au contraire, tous prophétisent et qu’il entre un visiteur incroyant ou un homme quelconque, ne se trouvera-t-il pas repris par tous et exposé au jugement de tous ? 25 Les secrets de son cœur seront mis à nu. Alors, il tombera sur sa face en adorant Dieu et s’écriera : « Certainement, Dieu est présent au milieu de vous. »

L’ordre dans le culte

26 Comment donc agir, frères et sœurs ? Lorsque vous vous réunissez, l’un chantera un cantique, l’autre aura une parole d’enseignement, un autre une révélation ; celui-ci s’exprimera dans une langue inconnue, celui-là en donnera l’interprétation ; que tout cela serve à faire grandir l’Eglise dans la foi. 27 Si l’on parle dans des langues inconnues, que deux le fassent, ou tout au plus trois, et l’un après l’autre ; et qu’il y ait quelqu’un pour traduire. 28 S’il n’y a pas d’interprète, qu’on se taise plutôt que de parler dans une langue inconnue dans l’assemblée, et qu’on se contente de parler à soi-même et à Dieu. 29 Quant à ceux qui prophétisent, que deux ou trois prennent la parole et que les autres jugent ce qu’ils disent : 30 si l’un des assistants reçoit une révélation pendant qu’un autre parle, celui qui a la parole doit se taire. 31 Ainsi vous pouvez tous prophétiser à tour de rôle afin que tous soient instruits et stimulés dans leur foi. 32 Car les prophètes restent maîtres d’eux-mêmes. 33 Dieu, en effet, n’est pas un Dieu de désordre, mais de paix.

Comme dans toutes les Eglises des membres du peuple saint, 34 que les femmes gardent le silence dans les assemblées ; car il ne leur est pas permis de parler[d]. Qu’elles sachent se tenir dans la soumission comme le recommande aussi la Loi. 35 Si elles veulent s’instruire sur quelque point, qu’elles interrogent leur mari à la maison. En effet, il est inconvenant pour une femme de parler dans une assemblée. 36 Car enfin, est-ce de chez vous que la Parole de Dieu est sortie ? Est-ce chez vous seulement qu’elle est parvenue ? 37 Si quelqu’un estime être un prophète ou pense bénéficier d’une manifestation spirituelle, il doit reconnaître, dans ce que je vous écris, un commandement du Seigneur. 38 Et si quelqu’un refuse de reconnaître cela, c’est la preuve qu’il n’a pas été lui-même reconnu par Dieu.

39 En résumé, mes frères et sœurs, recherchez ardemment à prophétiser et ne vous opposez pas à ce qu’on parle en des langues inconnues. 40 Mais veillez à ce que tout se passe convenablement et non dans le désordre.

L’apôtre en conclut que, lorsque Dieu parle une langue étrangère, c’est un signe de jugement. Le langage du salut est au contraire celui qui est compréhensible.

1 Corinthians 14
Living Bible

14 Let love be your greatest aim; nevertheless, ask also for the special abilities the Holy Spirit gives, and especially the gift of prophecy, being able to preach the messages of God.

2 But if your gift is that of being able to “speak in tongues,” that is, to speak in languages you haven’t learned, you will be talking to God but not to others, since they won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be a secret. 3 But one who prophesies, preaching the messages of God, is helping others grow in the Lord, encouraging and comforting them. 4 So a person “speaking in tongues” helps himself grow spiritually, but one who prophesies, preaching messages from God, helps the entire church grow in holiness and happiness.

5 I wish you all had the gift of “speaking in tongues,” but even more I wish you were all able to prophesy, preaching God’s messages, for that is a greater and more useful power than to speak in unknown languages—unless, of course, you can tell everyone afterwards what you were saying, so that they can get some good out of it too.

6 Dear friends, even if I myself should come to you talking in some language you don’t understand, how would that help you? But if I speak plainly what God has revealed to me, and tell you the things I know, and what is going to happen, and the great truths of God’s Word—that is what you need; that is what will help you. 7 Even musical instruments—the flute, for instance, or the harp—are examples of the need for speaking in plain, simple English[a] rather than in unknown languages. For no one will recognize the tune the flute is playing unless each note is sounded clearly. 8 And if the army bugler doesn’t play the right notes, how will the soldiers know that they are being called to battle? 9 In the same way, if you talk to a person in some language he doesn’t understand, how will he know what you mean? You might as well be talking to an empty room.

10 I suppose that there are hundreds of different languages in the world, and all are excellent for those who understand them, 11 but to me they mean nothing. A person talking to me in one of these languages will be a stranger to me and I will be a stranger to him. 12 Since you are so anxious to have special gifts from the Holy Spirit, ask him for the very best, for those that will be of real help to the whole church.

13 If someone is given the gift of speaking in unknown tongues, he should pray also for the gift of knowing what he has said, so that he can tell people afterwards plainly. 14 For if I pray in a language I don’t understand, my spirit is praying, but I don’t know what I am saying.

15 Well, then, what shall I do? I will do both. I will pray in unknown tongues and also in ordinary language that everyone understands. I will sing in unknown tongues and also in ordinary language so that I can understand the praise I am giving; 16 for if you praise and thank God with the spirit alone, speaking in another language, how can those who don’t understand you be praising God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don’t know what you are saying? 17 You will be giving thanks very nicely, no doubt, but the other people present won’t be helped.

18 I thank God that I “speak in tongues” privately[b] more than any of the rest of you. 19 But in public worship I would much rather speak five words that people can understand and be helped by than ten thousand words while “speaking in tongues” in an unknown language.

20 Dear brothers, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent babies when it comes to planning evil, but be men of intelligence in understanding matters of this kind. 21 We are told in the ancient Scriptures that God would send men from other lands to speak in foreign languages to his people, but even then they would not listen. 22 So you see that being able to “speak in tongues” is not a sign to God’s children concerning his power, but is a sign to the unsaved. However, prophecy (preaching the deep truths of God) is what the Christians need, and unbelievers aren’t yet ready for it. 23 Even so, if an unsaved person, or someone who doesn’t have these gifts, comes to church and hears you all talking in other languages, he is likely to think you are crazy. 24 But if you prophesy, preaching God’s Word, even though such preaching is mostly for believers,[c] and an unsaved person or a new Christian comes in who does not understand about these things, all these sermons will convince him of the fact that he is a sinner, and his conscience will be pricked by everything he hears. 25 As he listens, his secret thoughts will be laid bare, and he will fall down on his knees and worship God, declaring that God is really there among you.

26 Well, my brothers, let’s add up what I am saying. When you meet together some will sing, another will teach, or tell some special information God has given him, or speak in an unknown language, or tell what someone else is saying who is speaking in the unknown language, but everything that is done must be useful to all, and build them up in the Lord. 27 No more than two or three should speak in an unknown language, and they must speak one at a time, and someone must be ready to interpret what they are saying. 28 But if no one is present who can interpret, they must not speak out loud. They must talk silently to themselves and to God in the unknown language but not publicly.

29-30 Two or three may prophesy, one at a time, if they have the gift, while all the others listen. But if, while someone is prophesying, someone else receives a message or idea from the Lord, the one who is speaking should stop. 31 In this way all who have the gift of prophecy can speak, one after the other, and everyone will learn and be encouraged and helped. 32 Remember that a person who has a message from God has the power to stop himself or wait his turn.[d] 33 God is not one who likes things to be disorderly and upset. He likes harmony, and he finds it in all the other churches.

34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. They are not to take part in the discussion, for they are subordinate to men[e] as the Scriptures also declare. 35 If they have any questions to ask, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to express their opinions in church meetings.

36 You disagree? And do you think that the knowledge of God’s will begins and ends with you Corinthians? Well, you are mistaken! 37 You who claim to have the gift of prophecy or any other special ability from the Holy Spirit should be the first to realize that what I am saying is a commandment from the Lord himself. 38 But if anyone still disagrees—well, we will leave him in his ignorance.[f]

39 So, my fellow believers, long to be prophets so that you can preach God’s message plainly; and never say it is wrong to “speak in tongues”; 40 however, be sure that everything is done properly in a good and 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.
