\subsection{I Corinthians 14} \VS{1} Be pursuing agape-love, but be being zealous for the spiritual [things], but more that you may be prophesying. \VS{2} For the [one] speaking in [a] tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears\footnote{or ``understands''}, but he speaks [a] mystery to the spirit. \VS{3} But the [one] prophesying speaks upbuilding and exhortation and consolation to men. \VS{4} The [one] speaking in [a] tongue builds himself, but the [one] prophesying builds up [the] church. \VS{5} So I want you all to be speaking in tongues, but more that you prophesy; for the [one] prophesying is greater than the [one] speaking in tongues, unless he interpret, in order that the church receive upbuilding. \VS{6} But now brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will it profit you, unless I will speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or teaching? \VS{7} Likewise the psyche-life-less\fnPsyche{} [things] giving sound, whether flute or lyre, unless it give distinction of sound, how will the [thing] being fluted or lyred be known? \VS{8} And if [a] trumpet give [an] uncertain sound, who will prepare for war? \VS{9} Thus you also, unless you through the tongue give clear word, how will the [thing] being spoken be known? For you will be speaking into air. \VS{10} Perhaps there are so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is meaningless. \VS{11} If therefore I do not know the power\footnote{i.e. meaning} of the voice, I will be to the [one] speaking [a] barbarian, and the [one] speaking [will be a] barbarian to me. \VS{12} Thus you also, since you are zealots of spiritual [things], be being zealous for the upbuilding of the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} in order that you be abounding. \VS{13} Therefore let\fnImperative{} the [one] speaking in [a] tongue be praying in order that he may interpret. \VS{14} For if I pray in [a] tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. \VS{15} What is it therefore? I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with the mind. I will sing with the spirit, but I will also sing with the mind. \VS{16} Since, if you bless with the spirit, how will the [one] filling the place of the ungifted [person] say --- Amen --- at your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you say? \VS{17} For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not built up. \VS{18} I give thanks to God, I speak in tongues more than all [of you]. \VS{19} But in [the] assembly\fnEkklhsia{} I want to speak five words with my mind, in order that I also inform others, than ten thousand words in [a] tongue. \VS{20} Brothers, do not become children in thinking, but be being [a] child in evil, and in thinking become complete. \VS{21} In the law it is written that: \begin{verse} With speaking other tongues \\ And with other lips will I speak to this people, \\ And neither thusly will they hear me, says the Lord. \end{verse} \VS{22} So that the tongues for today are not for the believing but for the non-believing, and prophecy is not for the non-believing, but for the believing. \VS{23} If therefore the whole assembly\fnEkklhsia{} come together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted or non-believing [ones] come in, won't they say that you are insane? \VS{24} But if all be prophesying, and some non-believing or ungifted [one] come in, he is convicted by everyone, he is discerned by everyone, \VS{25} the secret [things] of his heart become manifest, and thus having fallen upon [his] face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is really among you. \VS{26} What is it therefore, brothers? When you be coming together, each has [a] song, has [a] teaching, has [a] revelation, has [a] tongue, has [an] interpretation. Let\fnImperative{} everything become for upbuilding. \VS{27} and if anyone speaks in [a] tongue, [let it be] by two or at most three, and in turn, and let\fnImperative{} one interpret. \VS{28} But if there not be [an] interpreter, let\fnImperative{} him be silent in [the] assembly\fnEkklhsia{}, let\fnImperative{} him be speaking to himself and to God. \VS{29} Let\fnImperative{} [the] prophets be speaking two or three, and let\fnImperative{} the others judge\footnote{or ``be judging''}. \VS{30} But if there be revelation to another sitting, let\fnImperative{} the first be being silent. \VS{31} For you are all able to be prophesying [one] by one, in order that all learn and all be exhorted. \VS{32} And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, \VS{33} for he is not the God of chaos but of peace. As in all the assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} of the holy [ones], \VS{34} \footnote{put vs. 34 {\&} 35 after vs 40: D; txt: \papyrus{46} \sinaiticus{}B \koine \hesychian } Let the women be being silent in the assemblies\fnEkklhsia{}, for it is not permitted for them to be speaking, but let\fnImperative{} them be being subject, just as the law says. \VS{35} But if they want to learn something, let\fnImperative{} them be asking their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for women to be speaking in the assembly\fnEkklhsia{}. \VS{36} Or has the word of God gone out from you [only], or has it come to you only? \VS{37} If anyone supposes he is [a] prophet or spiritual, let\fnImperative{} him know\footnote{or ``decide''} that what I write to you is [a] commandment of the Lord. \VS{38} But anyone is ignorant, let\fnImperative{} him be being ignorant\footnote{``let him be being ignorant'' \papyrus{46}B \koine; ``he will be ignored'' \sinaiticus{}A}. \VS{39} Therefore, my brothers, be zealous to be prophesying, and be not hindering to be speaking in tongues. \VS{40} But let\fnImperative{} everything come to pass properly and according to order.
