1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.
2 For the one speaking with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears him; but he speaks mysteries in the spirit:
For he that speaketh with toges speaketh not vnto men but vnto god for no man heareth him how be it in the sprete he speaketh misteries.
3 but the one prophesying speaks to men edification, exhortation, and comfort.
But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.
4 The one speaking with a tongue edifies himself; but the one prophesying edifies the church.
He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.
5 But I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you may prophesy: but greater is the one prophesying, than the one speaking with tongues, unless he may interpret, in order that the church may receive edification.
I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.
6 But now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I shall speak to you either in revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or in instruction?
Now brehren if I come vnto you speakige wt tonges: what shall I profit you excepte I speake vnto you other by revelacio or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine.
7 Nevertheless things without life, giving forth a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it may not give a distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped, or what is harped?
Moreover whe thinges with out lyfe geve sounde: whether it be a pype or an harpe: except they make a distinccion in the soundes: how shall it be knowen what is pyped or harped?
8 For if indeed the trumpet may give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the war?
And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?
9 Thus also if you through the tongue may give an indistinct word, how will that which is spoken be known? for you will be speaking into the air.
Eve so lykwyse whe ye speake with toges excepte ye speake wordes that have signification how shall yt be vnderstonde what is spoke? For ye shall but speake in the ayer.
10 If it so happens that there are so many kinds of voices in the world, and nothing without a voice;
Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.
11 if then I do not understand the power of the voice, I will be a barbarian to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a barbarian to me.
If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth I shalbe vnto him that speaketh an alient: and and he that speaketh shalbe an alient vnto me
12 So also you, since you are zealots of spirits, seek that you may abound unto the edification of the church.
Eve so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto ye edifyinge of the congregacion.
13 Therefore let the one speaking with a tongue, pray that one may interpret.
Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.
14 For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my mind is not fruitful.
If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.
15 Then what is it? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my mind also: I will sing with my spirit, and I will sing with my mind also.
What is it then? I will praye with the sprete ad will praye wt the mynde also. I will singe with the sprete and will singe with the mynde also.
16 Since if you may bless with the spirit, how will one occupying the place of the unlearned say Amen to your blessing? since he does not know what you are saying.
For els when thou blessest with ye sprete how shall he that occupieth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at thy gevinge of thankes seynge he vnderstondeth not what thou sayest
17 For you indeed bless beautifully, but the other is not edified.
Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.
18 I thank God, I speak with tongue more than you all:
I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.
19 but I would rather speak five words in the church with my understanding, so that I may indeed teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Yet had I lever in ye cogregacio to speake five wordes with my mynde to ye informacio of other rather then ten thousande wordes wt the tonge.
20 Brethren, be not children in intellect: but be infants in evil, but be perfect in intellect.
Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.
21 It has been written in the law; I will speak to this people with other tongues and with the lips of others; and thus they will not hearken unto me, says the Lord.
In the lawe it is written with other toges and with other lyppes wyll I speake vnto this people and yet for all that will they not heare me sayth the Lorde.
22 So tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelievers: and prophecy is not for the unbelievers, but for the believers.
Wherfore tonges are for a signe not to them that beleve: but to them that beleve not. Contrary wyse prophesyinge serveth not for them that beleve not: but for them which beleve.
23 Then if the whole church may come together, and all may speak with tongues, and the unlearned or unbelievers may come in, will they not say that you are gone mad?
Yf therfore when all the cogregacion is come to gedder and all speake with tonges ther come in they yt are vnlearned or they which beleve not: will they not saye that ye are out of youre wittes?
24 But if all may prophesy, and some unbeliever or unlearned person may come in, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all;
But and yf all prophesy and ther come in one that beleveth not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of every man:
25 the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.
and so are ye secretes of his hert opened and so falleth he doune on his face and worshippeth God and sayth yt God is wt you in dede.
26 Then what is it, brethren? When you may come together, each one has a psalm, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
How is it then brethre? When ye come to gedder every ma hath his songe hath his doctryne hath his toge hath his revelacio hath his interpretacio. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge.
27 If one speaks with a tongue, let it he by twos, or at most by threes, and separately; and let one interpret;
If eny man speake wt tonges let it be two at once or at the most thre at once and that by course: and let another interprete it.
28 but if there may be no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church; but let him speak to himself, and to God.
But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
29 But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others give audience;
Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.
30 but if something may be revealed to another sitting down, let the first be silent.
Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.
31 For you are all able to prophesy one by one, in order that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.
32 Truly the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
33 for he is not a God of confusion, but of peace. So in all the churches of the saints,
For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.
34 let the women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to talk; but let them be subordinate, as the law also says.
Let youre wyves kepe silence in the cogregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but let them be vnder obedience as sayth the lawe.
35 But if they wish to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church.
If they will learne enythinge let the axe their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen to speake in the cogregacio.
36 Whether did the word of God come out from you? or has it reached unto you alone?
Sproge ye worde of god fro you? Ether came it vnto you only?
37 If any one seems to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him understand the things which I write to you, that they are of the Lord;
Yf eny ma thinke him sylfe a prophet ether spirituall: let him vnderstonde what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the comaundementes of the Lorde.
38 but if any one ignores, he is ignored.
But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant.
39 So, my brethren, be zealous to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues;
Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.
40 but let all things be done decently and in order.
And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
