1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε
2 For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
ο γαρ λαλων γλωσση ουκ ανθρωποισ λαλει αλλα τω θεω ουδεισ γαρ ακουει πνευματι δε λαλει μυστηρια
3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποισ λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν
4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει
5 And 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.
θελω δε παντασ υμασ λαλειν γλωσσαισ μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε μειζων γαρ ο προφητευων η ο λαλων γλωσσαισ εκτοσ ει μη διερμηνευει ινα η εκκλησια οικοδομην λαβη
6 But 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?
νυνι δε αδελφοι εαν ελθω προσ υμασ γλωσσαισ λαλων τι υμασ ωφελησω εαν μη υμιν λαλησω η εν αποκαλυψει η εν γνωσει η εν προφητεια η εν διδαχη
7 Even 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?
ομωσ τα αψυχα φωνην διδοντα ειτε αυλοσ ειτε κιθαρα εαν διαστολην τοισ φθογγοισ μη διδω πωσ γνωσθησεται το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
και γαρ εαν αδηλον φωνην σαλπιγξ δω τισ παρασκευασεται εισ πολεμον
9 So 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.
ουτωσ και υμεισ δια τησ γλωσσησ εαν μη ευσημον λογον δωτε πωσ γνωσθησεται το λαλουμενον εσεσθε γαρ εισ αερα λαλουντεσ
10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν αυτων αφωνον
11 If 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.
εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν τησ φωνησ εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαροσ και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαροσ
12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
ουτωσ και υμεισ επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προσ την οικοδομην τησ εκκλησιασ ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε
13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νουσ μου ακαρποσ εστιν
15 What 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.
τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και τω νοι
16 Else 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.
επει εαν ευλογησησ τω πνευματι ο αναπληρων τον τοπον του ιδιωτου πωσ ερει το αμην επι τη ση ευχαριστια επειδη τι λεγεισ ουκ οιδεν
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
συ μεν γαρ καλωσ ευχαριστεισ αλλ ο ετεροσ ουκ οικοδομειται
18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαισ λαλων
19 But 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.
αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογουσ δια του νοοσ μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλουσ κατηχησω η μυριουσ λογουσ εν γλωσση
20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταισ φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταισ δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε
21 In 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.
εν τω νομω γεγραπται οτι εν ετερογλωσσοισ και εν χειλεσιν ετεροισ λαλησω τω λαω τουτω και ουδ ουτωσ εισακουσονται μου λεγει κυριοσ
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
ωστε αι γλωσσαι εισ σημειον εισιν ου τοισ πιστευουσιν αλλα τοισ απιστοισ η δε προφητεια ου τοισ απιστοισ αλλα τοισ πιστευουσιν
23 If 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?
εαν ουν συνελθη η εκκλησια ολη επι το αυτο και παντεσ γλωσσαισ λαλωσιν εισελθωσιν δε ιδιωται η απιστοι ουκ ερουσιν οτι μαινεσθε
24 But 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.
εαν δε παντεσ προφητευωσιν εισελθη δε τισ απιστοσ η ιδιωτησ ελεγχεται υπο παντων ανακρινεται υπο παντων
25 The 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.
και ουτωσ τα κρυπτα τησ καρδιασ αυτου φανερα γινεται και ουτωσ πεσων επι προσωπον προσκυνησει τω θεω απαγγελλων οτι ο θεοσ οντωσ εν υμιν εστιν
26 How 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.
τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστοσ υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προσ οικοδομην γινεσθω
27 If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.
ειτε γλωσση τισ λαλει κατα δυο η το πλειστον τρεισ και ανα μεροσ και εισ διερμηνευετω
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτησ σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
προφηται δε δυο η τρεισ λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν
30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτοσ σιγατω
31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
δυνασθε γαρ καθ ενα παντεσ προφητευειν ινα παντεσ μανθανωσιν και παντεσ παρακαλωνται
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
και πνευματα προφητων προφηταισ υποτασσεται
33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιασ ο θεοσ αλλα ειρηνησ ωσ εν πασαισ ταισ εκκλησιαισ των αγιων
34 Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
αι γυναικεσ υμων εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταισ λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθωσ και ο νομοσ λεγει
35 But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τουσ ιδιουσ ανδρασ επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν
36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
η αφ υμων ο λογοσ του θεου εξηλθεν η εισ υμασ μονουσ κατηντησεν
37 If 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.
ει τισ δοκει προφητησ ειναι η πνευματικοσ επιγινωσκετω α γραφω υμιν οτι κυριου εισιν εντολαι
38 But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
ει δε τισ αγνοει αγνοειτω
39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαισ μη κωλυετε
40 But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
παντα ευσχημονωσ και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω
