CHAP. XIV.
1 Prophecie is commended, 2. 3. 4 and preferred before speaking with tongues, 6 by a comparison drawen from musicall instruments. 12 Both must bee referred to edification, 22 as to their true and proper end. 26 The true vse of each is taught, 27 and the abuse taxed. 34 Women are forbidden to speake in the Church.
1Follow after charitie, and desire spirituall giftes, but rather that yee may prophesie.
2For he that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man vnderstandeth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.2
3But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Of prophecying, strange tongues, and interpretation.
7And euen things without life giuing sound, whether pipe or harpe, except they giue a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?7
8For if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to the battell?
9So likewise you, except ye vtter by the tongue words easie to be vnderstood, how shall it be knowen what is spoken? for ye shall speake into the aire.9
12Euen so ye, forasmuch as yee are zealous of spirituall gifts, seeke that yee may excell to the edifying of the Church.12
13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, pray that he may interprete.
14For if I pray in an vnknowen tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my vnderstanding is vnfruitfull.
17For thou verily giuest thankes well: but the other is not edified.
18I thanke my God, I speake with tongues more then you all.
20Brethren, bee not children in vnderstanding: how be it, in malice be yee children, but in vnderstanding be men.20
21In the Law it is written, With men of other tongues, and other lippes will I speake vnto this people: and yet for all that will they not heare me, saith the Lord.21
Of prophecying, strange tongues, and interpretation.
29Let the Prophets speake two or three, and let the other iudge.
30If any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31For yee may all prophesie one by one, that all may learne, and all may be comforted.
32And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
33For God is not the authour of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of the Saints.33
34Let your women keepe silence in the Churches, for it is not permitted vnto them to speake; but they are commanded to bee vnder obedience: as also saith the Law.34
36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it vnto you onely?
38But if any man bee ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39Wherefore brethren, couet to prophesie, and forbid not to speake with tongues.
40Let all things be done decently, and in order.
