El hablar en lenguas

14 Ustedes vayan en pos del amor, y procuren alcanzar los dones espirituales, sobre todo el de profecía, pues el que habla en lenguas extrañas le habla a Dios, pero no a los hombres; y nadie le entiende porque, en el Espíritu, habla de manera misteriosa. Pero el que profetiza les habla a los demás para edificarlos, exhortarlos y consolarlos. El que habla en lengua extraña, se edifica a sí mismo; en cambio, el que profetiza, edifica a la iglesia. Así que, yo quisiera que todos ustedes hablaran en lenguas, pero más quisiera que profetizaran; porque profetizar es más importante que hablar en lenguas, a menos que el que las hable también las interprete, para que la iglesia sea edificada.

Hermanos, ¿de qué les serviría a ustedes que yo fuera a visitarlos y les hablara en lenguas, a menos que les comunicara alguna revelación, o conocimiento, o profecía, o enseñanza? Si los instrumentos musicales, como la flauta o la cítara, no tuvieran un sonido claramente distinto, ¿cómo podríamos distinguir entre la música de flauta y la música de cítara? Y si el toque de trompeta resulta incierto, ¿quién se alistará para el combate? Lo mismo pasa con ustedes: si no usan la lengua para comunicar un mensaje claro y comprensible, ¿cómo se va a entender lo que dicen? Es como si hablaran al aire. 10 No hay duda de que en el mundo hay muchos idiomas, y que ninguno de ellos carece de significado. 11 Pero si yo no sé lo que significan las palabras, seré como un extranjero para el que habla, y el que habla será como un extranjero para mí. 12 Lo mismo pasa con ustedes. Puesto que anhelan tener los dones espirituales, procuren abundar en ellos para la edificación de la iglesia.

13 Por lo tanto, el que hable en una lengua extraña, pida en oración poder interpretarla. 14 Porque, si yo oro en una lengua extraña, es mi espíritu el que ora, pero mi entendimiento no se beneficia. 15 Entonces, ¿qué debo hacer? Pues orar con el espíritu, pero también con el entendimiento; cantar con el espíritu, pero también con el entendimiento. 16 Porque si tú alabas a Dios sólo con el espíritu, ¿qué hará el que solamente está escuchando? ¿Cómo dirá «Amén» a tu acción de gracias, si no sabe lo que has dicho? 17 Tu acción de gracias puede ser muy buena, pero el otro no será edificado. 18 Doy gracias a Dios de que hablo en lenguas más que todos ustedes, 19 pero en la iglesia prefiero hablar cinco palabras con mi entendimiento, para poder enseñar a los demás, que diez mil palabras en una lengua extraña.

20 Hermanos, no sean como niños en su modo de razonar. Sean como niños en cuanto a la malicia, pero en su modo de razonar actúen como gente madura. 21 En la ley está escrito:

«Yo hablaré con este pueblo
en otras lenguas y con otros labios,
pero ni así me obedecerán,
dice el Señor.»(A)

22 Las lenguas son una señal para los incrédulos, pero no para los creyentes; en cambio, la profecía no es una señal para los incrédulos, sino para los creyentes. 23 Imagínense a toda la iglesia reunida en un solo lugar, y que llegue alguien que sepa poco de la fe cristiana, o que sea incrédulo, y oiga a todos hablar en lenguas extrañas. ¿Acaso no pensará que ustedes están locos? 24 Pero si todos ustedes profetizan, y entra algún incrédulo o alguien que sepa poco de la fe cristiana, esa persona podrá ser reprendida y juzgada por todos ustedes; 25 así los secretos de su corazón quedarán al descubierto, y esa persona se postrará ante Dios y lo adorará, y reconocerá que Dios está realmente entre ustedes.

26 Por lo tanto, hermanos, cuando ustedes se reúnan, tal vez cada uno tenga un salmo, una enseñanza, una revelación, un mensaje en lengua extraña, o una interpretación; pero todo deben hacerlo para la edificación. 27 Si se habla en una lengua extraña, que hablen dos, y hasta tres, pero que lo hagan por turnos, y que uno de ellos interprete lo que se diga. 28 Pero si no hay quien interprete, esa persona debe guardar silencio en la iglesia, y hablar para sí mismo y para Dios. 29 De la misma manera, que hablen dos y hasta tres profetas, y que los demás juzguen lo dicho. 30 Si alguien estando sentado recibe una revelación, el primero debe dejar de hablar; 31 así todos podrán profetizar por turno, a fin de que todos aprendan y sean exhortados. 32 El don de profecía debe estar bajo el control de los profetas, 33 pues Dios no es Dios de confusión, sino de paz.

Como en todas las iglesias de los santos, 34 en la congregación las esposas deben guardar silencio, porque no les está permitido hablar, sino que estén sujetas, como también la ley lo dice. 35 Si la esposa quiere aprender algo, que le pregunte a su esposo en su casa, porque no es apropiado que una mujer hable en la congregación. 36 La palabra de Dios, ¿se originó entre ustedes, o más bien solamente llegó a ustedes?

37 Si alguno se cree profeta, o espiritual, reconozca que lo que les escribo son mandamientos del Señor; 38 pero si alguien no quiere reconocerlo, que no lo reconozca. 39 Así que, hermanos, procuren profetizar, y no impidan que se hable en lenguas extrañas, 40 siempre y cuando todo se haga decentemente y con orden.

Profetians gåva är större än tungomålstalets

14 Sträva ivrigt efter kärleken, men sök också vinna de andliga gåvorna, framför allt profetians gåva. Den som talar tungomål talar inte till människor utan till Gud. Ingen förstår honom, när han i sin ande talar hemligheter. Men den som profeterar talar till människor och ger dem uppbyggelse, uppmuntran och tröst. Den som talar tungomål uppbygger sig själv, men den som profeterar uppbygger församlingen. Jag önskar att ni alla skall tala tungomål men hellre att ni skall profetera. Den som profeterar är förmer än den som talar tungomål, om inte denne uttyder sitt tal, så att församlingen blir uppbyggd.

Antag, mina bröder, att jag kommer till er och talar tungomål. Vad hjälper det er, om jag inte meddelar er någon uppenbarelse eller kunskap eller profetia eller undervisning? Även om livlösa instrument som flöjt eller harpa ger ljud ifrån sig, hur skall man kunna uppfatta vad som spelas, om det inte är någon skillnad på tonerna? Och om en trumpet ger en otydlig signal, vem gör sig då redo till strid? Så är det även med er. Om ni inte i ert språk talar begripliga ord, hur skall man då kunna förstå vad ni säger? Ni kommer att tala ut i tomma luften. 10 Hur många språk det än kan finnas i världen, så är inget ljud utan mening. 11 Men om jag inte vet vad ljuden betyder, blir jag en främling för den som talar, och den som talar blir en främling för mig. 12 Så är det också med er. Eftersom ni är ivriga att få Andens gåvor, sök då att i överflöd få sådana som uppbygger församlingen.

Tungomålstalet måste uttydas

13 Därför skall den som talar tungomål be om att kunna uttyda det. 14 Ty om jag talar tungomål när jag ber, så ber min ande, men mitt förstånd bär ingen frukt. 15 Vad innebär nu detta? Jo, jag vill be i anden, och jag vill också be med förståndet. Jag vill lovsjunga i anden, och jag vill också lovsjunga med förståndet. 16 Men om du tackar Gud i anden, hur skall då den som inget förstår kunna säga sitt amen till din tacksägelse? Han förstår ju inte vad du säger. 17 Du gör rätt i att tacka Gud, men den andre blir inte uppbyggd. 18 Jag tackar min Gud, jag talar tungomål mer än ni alla. 19 Men i församlingen vill jag hellre tala fem ord med mitt förstånd för att undervisa andra, än tio tusen i tungomål.

Tungomålstalet är ett tecken för dem som inte tror

20 Bröder, var inte barn till förståndet. Var i stället barn i fråga om ondskan och vuxna till förståndet. 21 Det står skrivet i lagen:[a] Genom folk med främmande språk och främmande läppar skall jag tala till detta folk, och inte ens då skall de lyssna till mig, säger Herren. 22 Så är tungomålstalen ett tecken, inte för dem som tror utan för de otroende,[b] under det att profetian är ett tecken, inte för de otroende utan för dem som tror. 23 Om nu hela församlingen kommer tillsammans och alla talar tungomål, och några som inte förstår eller inte tror kommer in, skall de då inte säga att ni är galna? 24 Men om alla profeterar och en som inte tror eller förstår kommer in, då blir han avslöjad av alla och dömd av alla. 25 Hans hjärtas hemligheter uppenbaras, och han faller ner på sitt ansikte och tillber Gud och ropar: "Gud är verkligen i er!"

Ordningen vid gudstjänsten

26 Hur skall det då vara, bröder? Jo, när ni samlas har var och en något att ge: en psalm, ett ord till undervisning, en uppenbarelse, ett tungotal, och en uttydning. Låt allt bli till uppbyggelse. 27 Om någon talar tungomål, får två eller högst tre tala, och då en i sänder, och någon skall uttyda det. 28 Men finns det ingen som uttyder, skall den som talar tungomål tiga i församlingen och endast tala för sig själv och till Gud. 29 Två eller tre profeter skall tala, och de andra skall pröva det som sägs. 30 Men om någon annan som sitter där får en uppenbarelse, skall den förste tiga. 31 Ni kan alla profetera, en i sänder, så att alla blir undervisade och alla blir tröstade. 32 Och profeternas andar underordnar sig profeterna. 33 Ty Gud är inte oordningens Gud utan fridens.

Liksom kvinnorna tiger i de heligas alla församlingar 34 skall de tiga i era församlingar. De får inte tala utan skall underordna sig, som också lagen säger.[c] 35 Vill de veta något, skall de fråga sina män där hemma. Ty det är en skam för en kvinna att tala i församlingen. 36 Är det kanske från er Guds ord har gått ut? Eller har det kommit bara till er?

37 Om någon menar sig vara profet eller andligt utrustad, skall han inse att det jag skriver till er är Herrens bud. 38 Men om någon inte erkänner detta, är han själv inte erkänd.[d] 39 Därför, mina bröder, var ivriga att profetera och hindra inte tungomålstalandet. 40 Men låt allt ske på ett värdigt sätt och med ordning.

Intelligibility in Worship

14 Follow the way of love(A) and eagerly desire(B) gifts of the Spirit,(C) especially prophecy.(D) 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. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,(H) encouraging(I) and comfort. Anyone who speaks in a tongue(J) edifies(K) themselves, but the one who prophesies(L) edifies the church. 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)

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) 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? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?(R) 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.

14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

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.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

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.

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?

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?

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

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.

Prophecy and Tongues

14 Pursue love, and (A)desire spiritual gifts, (B)but especially that you may prophesy. 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. But he who prophesies speaks (D)edification and (E)exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 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

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? 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? For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 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.
