I Corinthians 14

1Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:39, 1 Corinthians 14:39, Hebrews 12:14, 1 Timothy 4:14, Hebrews 12:14
2For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Mark 16:17, Mark 16:17, Acts 19:6, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6
3But he that prophesieth speaketh to men unto edification and exhortation and comfort.
1 Corinthians 14:12, 1 Corinthians 14:12, 1 Timothy 4:13, 1 Timothy 4:13, Titus 1:9
4He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians 14:22, 1 Corinthians 14:22, 1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 14:26, Mark 16:17
5And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 1 Corinthians 12:30, 1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Corinthians 12:28
6But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in doctrine?
Ephesians 1:17, Ephesians 1:17, 2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 6:17, 2 Timothy 3:16
7Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1 Corinthians 14:8, 1 Corinthians 14:8, 1 Corinthians 13:1, Luke 7:32, Matthew 11:17
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
Numbers 10:9, Numbers 10:9, Ezekiel 33:3, Ezekiel 33:6, Ezekiel 33:3
9So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
1 Corinthians 9:26, 1 Corinthians 9:26
10There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world: and none is without voice.
11If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian: and he that speaketh a barbarian to me.
Acts 28:2, Acts 28:2, 1 Corinthians 14:21, Acts 28:4, Romans 1:14
12So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 1 Corinthians 14:4, 1 Corinthians 14:3
13And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 12:30, Mark 11:24, 1 Corinthians 12:30, Mark 11:24, 1 Corinthians 14:27
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit.
1 Corinthians 14:2, 1 Corinthians 14:2, 1 Corinthians 14:15, 1 Corinthians 14:16, 1 Corinthians 14:15
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding, I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.
Colossians 3:16, Colossians 3:16, Ephesians 6:18, Ephesians 6:18, John 4:23
16Else, if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? Because he knoweth not what thou sayest.
Psalms 106:48, 1 Chronicles 16:36, Revelation 5:14, Psalms 106:48, 1 Chronicles 16:36
17For thou indeed givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.
1 Corinthians 14:4, 1 Corinthians 14:4, 1 Corinthians 14:6, 1 Corinthians 14:6
18I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
1 Corinthians 1:4, 1 Corinthians 1:6, 1 Corinthians 1:4, 1 Corinthians 1:6, 1 Corinthians 4:7
19But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also: than ten thousand words in a tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:21, 1 Corinthians 14:22, 1 Corinthians 14:21, 1 Corinthians 14:22, 1 Corinthians 14:4
20Brethren, do not become children in sense. But in malice be children: and in sense be perfect.
1 Corinthians 13:11, Romans 16:19, 1 Peter 2:2, 1 Corinthians 13:11, Romans 16:19
21In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people: and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 28:11, Isaiah 28:12, Isaiah 28:11, Isaiah 28:12, Deuteronomy 28:49
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecies, not to unbelievers but to believers.
Acts 2:6, Acts 2:12, Acts 2:6, Acts 2:12, Mark 16:17
23If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?
Acts 2:13, Acts 2:13, John 10:20, Hosea 9:7, 1 Corinthians 11:18
24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all.
Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 4:13, Acts 2:37, 1 Corinthians 2:15, Hebrews 4:12
25The secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.
Isaiah 45:14, Isaiah 45:14, Zechariah 8:23, Zechariah 8:23, Psalms 72:11
26How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.
Ephesians 5:19, Ephesians 5:19, Romans 14:19, Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 12:7
27If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course: and let one interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 14:26
28But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29And let the prophets speak, two or three: and let the rest judge.
1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 1 Thessalonians 5:19
30But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
1 Thessalonians 5:19, 1 Thessalonians 5:20, Job 33:31, Job 33:33, Job 32:11
31For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
1 Thessalonians 5:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:14, 1 Corinthians 14:3
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Acts 4:19, Acts 4:20, Acts 4:19, Acts 4:20, 1 John 4:1
33For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
James 3:17, James 3:18, James 3:17, James 3:18, 1 Corinthians 14:40
34Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith.
1 Timothy 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Timothy 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:12, Genesis 3:16
35But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:12, 1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:12, Ephesians 5:25
36Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
Zechariah 14:8, Acts 18:1, Acts 18:17, 1 Corinthians 4:7, Acts 16:9
37If any seem to be a prophet or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
1 John 4:6, 1 John 4:6, 2 Corinthians 10:7, 2 Corinthians 10:7, Jude 1:17
38But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
2 Timothy 4:3, 2 Timothy 4:4, 2 Timothy 4:3, 2 Timothy 4:4, Matthew 7:6
39Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy: and forbid not to speak with tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:31, 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 12:31, 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:20
40But let all things be done decently and according to order.
Colossians 2:5, Colossians 2:5, Titus 1:5, Titus 1:5, 1 Corinthians 14:26
