1 Corinthians 14:4-26
English Standard Version
1 Corinthians 14:4-26
English Standard Version
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 (A)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 (B)revelation or knowledge or prophecy or (C)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 (D)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 (E)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 (F)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; (G)I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will (H)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 (I)“Amen” to (J)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, (K)do not be children in your thinking. (L)Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be (M)mature. 21 (N)In the Law it is written, (O)“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, (P)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 (Q)the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, (R)falling on his face, he will worship God and (S)declare that God is really among you.
Orderly Worship
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has (T)a hymn, (U)a lesson, (V)a revelation, (W)a tongue, or (X)an interpretation. (Y)Let all things be done for building up.

New International Version
1 Corinthians 14:4-26
New International Version
4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue(A) edifies(B) themselves, but the one who prophesies(C) edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[a] but I would rather have you prophesy.(D) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.(E)
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(F) or knowledge(G) or prophecy or word of instruction?(H) 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?(I) 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.(J) 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit,(K) try to excel in those that build up(L) the church.
13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.(M) 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,(N) but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit,(O) but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing(P) 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,[c] say “Amen”(Q) to your thanksgiving,(R) since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.(S)
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.(T)
20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children.(U) In regard to evil be infants,(V) but in your thinking be adults. 21 In the Law(W) 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,(X)
says the Lord.”[d]
22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,(Y) 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?(Z) 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(AA) of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”(AB)
Good Order in Worship
26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters?(AC) When you come together, each of you(AD) has a hymn,(AE) or a word of instruction,(AF) a revelation, a tongue(AG) or an interpretation.(AH) Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.(AI)
