WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.340 Chapter 14. 00:02.540 --> 00:07.900 Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 00:08.640 --> 00:14.220 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto man, but unto God, 00:14.440 --> 00:16.580 for no man understandeth him. 00:17.180 --> 00:21.900 Howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries, but he that prophesieth 00:21.900 --> 00:27.360 speaketh unto man, to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 00:28.340 --> 00:33.880 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself, but he that prophesieth 00:33.880 --> 00:35.140 edifieth the church. 00:35.880 --> 00:39.900 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied. 00:40.520 --> 00:45.660 For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he 00:45.660 --> 00:48.600 interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 00:49.580 --> 00:55.640 Now brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I except I shall 00:55.640 --> 00:59.800 speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, 01:00.260 --> 01:00.920 or by doctrine? 01:01.740 --> 01:07.380 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a 01:07.380 --> 01:11.760 distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 01:12.320 --> 01:16.860 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the 01:16.860 --> 01:17.100 battle? 01:17.880 --> 01:22.480 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, 01:23.020 --> 01:24.880 how shall it be known what is spoken? 01:25.520 --> 01:27.300 For ye shall speak into the air. 01:28.100 --> 01:33.120 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is 01:33.120 --> 01:34.500 without signification. 01:35.260 --> 01:39.840 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a 01:39.840 --> 01:43.920 barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 01:44.700 --> 01:50.840 Even so ye, for as much as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel 01:50.840 --> 01:52.700 to the edifying of the church. 01:53.620 --> 01:58.020 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 01:58.540 --> 02:04.180 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is 02:04.180 --> 02:04.840 unfruitful. 02:05.600 --> 02:06.480 What is it then? 02:07.140 --> 02:11.160 I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. 02:11.540 --> 02:15.420 I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 02:16.280 --> 02:21.280 Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the 02:21.280 --> 02:25.680 room of the unlearned say, Amen, at thy giving of thanks, seeing he 02:25.680 --> 02:27.840 understandeth not what thou sayest? 02:28.820 --> 02:32.960 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 02:33.860 --> 02:37.640 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than ye all. 02:37.960 --> 02:43.040 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my 02:43.040 --> 02:48.000 voice I might teach others also than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 02:49.060 --> 02:52.520 Brethren, be not children in understanding, albeit in malice be 02:52.520 --> 02:55.500 children, but in understanding be men. 02:56.080 --> 03:02.040 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak 03:02.040 --> 03:07.240 unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 03:08.060 --> 03:12.700 Wherefore, tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that 03:12.700 --> 03:13.340 believe not. 03:13.820 --> 03:19.280 But prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 03:20.180 --> 03:24.660 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak 03:24.660 --> 03:30.200 with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned or unbelievers, will they 03:30.200 --> 03:31.940 not say that ye are mad? 03:32.740 --> 03:38.380 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, 03:38.560 --> 03:44.220 he is convinced of all, he is judged of all, and thus are the secrets of his heart 03:44.220 --> 03:45.000 made manifest. 03:45.640 --> 03:49.800 And so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God 03:49.800 --> 03:51.200 is in you of a truth. 03:52.240 --> 03:57.440 How is it then, brethren, when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, 03:57.720 --> 04:02.140 hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? 04:03.060 --> 04:06.180 Let all things be done unto edifying. 04:07.200 --> 04:12.660 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, 04:13.140 --> 04:16.280 and that by course, and let one interpret. 04:17.080 --> 04:20.900 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church, 04:21.180 --> 04:24.100 and let him speak to himself and to God. 04:24.660 --> 04:28.660 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 04:29.460 --> 04:35.340 If anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 04:36.600 --> 04:42.880 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be 04:42.880 --> 04:43.440 comforted. 04:43.860 --> 04:46.600 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 04:47.140 --> 04:52.740 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the 04:52.740 --> 04:53.020 saints. 04:53.880 --> 04:58.580 Let your women keep silence in the churches, for it is not permitted unto 04:58.580 --> 05:04.480 them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 05:05.140 --> 05:09.500 And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, 05:10.080 --> 05:13.440 for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 05:14.240 --> 05:19.600 What, came the word of God out from you, or came it unto you only? 05:20.120 --> 05:25.460 If any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the 05:25.460 --> 05:29.140 things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 05:29.600 --> 05:32.880 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 05:33.340 --> 05:38.720 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 05:39.300 --> 05:43.340 Let all things be done decently and in order.
