Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagsasalita ng Ibang Wika na Hindi Natutunan
14 Sikapin ninyong makamtan ang pag-ibig, ngunit sikapin din ninyong makamtan ang mga kaloob na espiritwal, lalo na ang pagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios. 2 Ang taong nagsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi niya natutunan ay nakikipag-usap hindi sa tao kundi sa Dios, dahil wala namang nakakaunawa sa kanya. Nagsasalita siya ng mga hiwaga sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu. 3 Ngunit ang taong nagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios ay nagsasalita sa mga tao upang silaʼy matulungan, mapalago at mapalakas ang loob. 4 Ang nagsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi niya natutunan ay pinatitibay ang kanyang sarili, ngunit ang nagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios ay nagpapatibay sa iglesya. 5 Gusto ko sanang kayong lahat ay makapagsalita sa ibang wika na hindi natutunan, ngunit mas ninanais kong makapagpahayag kayo ng mensahe ng Dios. Sapagkat ang taong nagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios ay mas mahalaga kaysa sa nagsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi natutunan, maliban na lamang kung ipapaliwanag niya ang kahulugan ng kanyang sinasabi upang mapatibay ang iglesya. 6 Ano ba ang mapapala ninyo, mga kapatid, kung pumunta ako riyan at magsalita ng ibang wika na hindi ninyo naiintindihan? Wala! Maliban na lang kung magbigay ako sa inyo ng pahayag mula sa Dios, o kaalaman, mensahe, o aral.
7 Kahit na ang mga instrumentong walang buhay tulad ng plauta at alpa, kung hindi malinaw ang mga notang tinutugtog, paano malalaman ng nakakarinig kung anong awit ang tinutugtog? 8 At kung hindi malinaw ang tunog ng trumpeta sa mga sundalo, sinong maghahanda para sa labanan? 9 Ganito rin sa inyo. Paano makakaunawa ang isang mananampalataya sa sinasabi mo sa ibang wika kung hindi naman niya naiintindihan? Para ka na ring nakikipag-usap sa hangin. 10 Maraming wika sa buong mundo at ang bawat salita nito ay may kahulugan. 11 Ngunit kung hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi ng isang tao at hindi rin naman niya ako maintindihan, wala kaming mapapala sa isaʼt isa. 12 At dahil nga hinahangad naman ninyo ang mga kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu, pagsikapan ninyong matanggap ang mga kaloob na nagpapatibay sa iglesya.
13 Kaya nga, ang taong nagsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi niya natutunan ay manalangin na bigyan din siya ng kakayahang maipaliwanag ito. 14 Kung nananalangin ako sa ibang wika na hindi ko natutunan, nananalangin nga ang aking espiritu, ngunit hindi naman naiintindihan ng aking isipan. 15 Kung ganoon, ano ang dapat kong gawin? Mananalangin ako at aawit sa pamamagitan ng aking espiritu kahit hindi ko ito naiintindihan, at mananalangin din ako at aawit sa paraang naiintindihan ng aking isipan. 16 Kung magpapasalamat ka sa Dios sa pamamagitan ng iyong espiritu lamang, at hindi ito maintindihan, paanong makakasagot ng “Amen” ang iba kung hindi naman nila naiintindihan ang iyong sinasabi? 17 Kahit maayos ang pagpapasalamat mo sa Dios, kung hindi naman naiintindihan ng iba, hindi ka rin makakapagpatatag sa kanila.
18 Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios na nakapagsasalita ako sa ibaʼt ibang wika na hindi natutunan ng higit pa sa inyong lahat. 19 Ngunit sa pagtitipon ng mga mananampalataya,[a] mas makakabuti pa ang magsalita ako ng limang kataga na naiintindihan upang maturuan ko sila, kaysa sa magsalita ako ng libu-libong kataga sa wikang wala namang nakakaintindi.
20 Mga kapatid, kung tungkol sa mga bagay na ito, huwag kayong mag-isip-bata. Kung sa masasamang bagay, maging tulad kayo ng mga batang walang malay sa kasamaan. Ngunit sa pang-unawa, mag-isip matanda kayo. 21 Sinasabi ng Panginoon sa Kasulatan,
“Magsasalita ako sa mga taong ito sa pamamagitan ng ibaʼt ibang wika at sa pamamagitan ng mga dayuhan,
ngunit hindi pa rin sila makikinig sa akin.”[b]
22 Kaya ang pagsasalita sa ibaʼt ibang wika na hindi natutunan ay isang tanda, hindi para sa mga mananampalataya, kundi para sa mga hindi mananampalataya. Ngunit ang pagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios ay para sa mga mananampalataya, hindi sa mga di-mananampalataya.
23 Kung nagtitipon kayong mga mananampalataya at lahat kayoʼy nagsasalita sa ibaʼt ibang wika na hindi ninyo natutunan, at may dumating na mga di-mananampalataya na hindi alam ang inyong ginagawa, hindi ba nila aakalaing nasisiraan kayo ng bait? 24 Ngunit kung lahat kayoʼy nagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios at may dumating na hindi mananampalataya na hindi alam ang inyong ginagawa, makikilala niyang makasalanan siya, at malalaman niya ang tunay niyang kalagayan. 25 Maging ang mga lihim ng kanyang puso ay maihahayag, at dahil dito, siyaʼy magpapatirapa sa pagsisisi at sasamba sa Dios, at masasabi niyang ang Dios ay talagang nasa piling ninyo.
Ang Maayos na Pagsamba
26 Kaya mga kapatid, ito ang nararapat ninyong gawin sa inyong pagtitipon: ang ibaʼy aawit, ang ibaʼy magtuturo, ang ibaʼy magpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios, at ang ibaʼy magsasalita sa ibaʼt ibang wika na hindi nila natutunan, at ang iba namaʼy magpapaliwanag kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mga sinasabi sa mga wikang iyon. At ang lahat ng inyong gagawin sa inyong pagtitipon ay gawin ninyo sa ikatitibay ng iglesya. 27 Kung may magsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi natutunan, kailangang dalawa lamang o tatlo, at huwag sabay-sabay, at dapat may magpapaliwanag sa kanilang sinasabi. 28 Ngunit kung walang magpapaliwanag, mas mabuti pang tumahimik na lamang sila sa loob ng iglesya at makipag-usap na lang sa Dios nang sarilinan. 29 Kung mayroon sa inyo ang pinagkalooban ng mensahe ng Dios, hayaang magsalita ang dalawa o tatlo sa kanila. Ang iba namaʼy dapat makinig at unawaing mabuti kung tama o mali ang kanilang sinasabi. 30 Ngayon, kung sa mga nakaupo ay may pinagkalooban ng mensahe ng Dios, dapat tumahimik na ang nagsasalita upang makapagsalita naman ang iba. 31 Sapagkat kayong lahat ay maaaring makapagpahayag ng mensahe ng Dios nang isa-isa, upang matuto ang lahat at mapalakas ang kanilang pananampalataya. 32 Ang nagpapahayag ng mensahe ng Dios ay dapat may pagpipigil sa sarili.[c] 33 Sapagkat ang Dios ay hindi nagdadala ng kaguluhan kundi kaayusan.
Tulad ng nakaugalian sa lahat ng iglesya ng mga pinabanal[d] ng Dios, 34 ang mga babae ay dapat tumahimik sa mga pagtitipon nʼyo dahil hindi sila pinahihintulutang magsalita. Dapat silang magpasakop sa mga lalaki ayon sa sinasabi ng Kautusan. 35 Kung may tanong sila, tanungin na lang nila ang kanilang asawa pagdating sa kanilang bahay. Sapagkat nakakahiyang magsalita ang isang babae sa loob ng iglesya.
36 Inaakala ba ninyong nagmula sa inyo ang salita ng Dios, o di kayaʼy kayo lang ang nakatanggap nito? 37 Kung mayroon sa inyong nag-aakala na may kakayahan siyang magpahayag ng mensahe ng Dios o sumasakanya ang Banal na Espiritu, dapat din niyang kilalanin na ang mga sinusulat ko sa inyoʼy utos mismo ng Panginoon. 38 At kung mayroon mang hindi kumikilala sa aking mga sinasabi ay huwag din ninyong kilalanin.
39 Kaya mga kapatid, pakahangarin ninyong makapagpahayag kayo ng mensahe ng Dios, at huwag ninyong ipagbawal ang pagsasalita sa ibang wika na hindi natutunan. 40 Ngunit gawin ninyo ang lahat sa maayos at wastong paraan.

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.

King James Version
1 Corinthians 14
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.

Prophecy and Tongues
14 (A)Pursue love, and (B)earnestly desire the (C)spiritual gifts, especially that you may (D)prophesy. 2 For (E)one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but (F)even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
6 Now, brothers,[a] if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some (G)revelation or knowledge or prophecy or (H)teaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And (I)if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be (J)speaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be (K)a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; (L)I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will (M)sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider[b] say (N)“Amen” to (O)your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Brothers, (P)do not be children in your thinking. (Q)Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be (R)mature. 21 (S)In the Law it is written, (T)“By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign[c] not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, (U)will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 (V)the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, (W)falling on his face, he will worship God and (X)declare that God is really among you.
Orderly Worship
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has (Y)a hymn, (Z)a lesson, (AA)a revelation, (AB)a tongue, or (AC)an interpretation. (AD)Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in (AE)a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others (AF)weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, (AG)let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. 33 For God is not a God of (AH)confusion but of peace.
As in (AI)all the churches of the saints, 34 (AJ)the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but (AK)should be in submission, as (AL)the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 (AM)If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. 39 So, my brothers, (AN)earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 (AO)But all things should be done decently and (AP)in order.
