1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε
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:
ο γαρ λαλων γλωσση ουκ ανθρωποις λαλει αλλα τω θεω ουδεις γαρ ακουει πνευματι δε λαλει μυστηρια
3 but the one prophesying speaks to men edification, exhortation, and comfort.
ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποις λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν
4 The one speaking with a tongue edifies himself; but the one prophesying edifies the church.
ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει
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.
θελω δε παντας υμας λαλειν γλωσσαις μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε μειζων γαρ ο προφητευων η ο λαλων γλωσσαις εκτος ει μη διερμηνευη ινα η εκκλησια οικοδομην λαβη
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?
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 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?
ομως τα αψυχα φωνην διδοντα ειτε αυλος ειτε κιθαρα εαν διαστολην τοις φθογγοις μη δω πως γνωσθησεται το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον
8 For if indeed the trumpet may give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the war?
και γαρ εαν αδηλον φωνην σαλπιγξ δω τις παρασκευασεται εις πολεμον
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.
ουτως και υμεις δια της γλωσσης εαν μη ευσημον λογον δωτε πως γνωσθησεται το λαλουμενον εσεσθε γαρ εις αερα λαλουντες
10 If it so happens that there are so many kinds of voices in the world, and nothing without a voice;
τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν {VAR1: αυτων } αφωνον
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.
εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν της φωνης εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαρος και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαρος
12 So also you, since you are zealots of spirits, seek that you may abound unto the edification of the church.
ουτως και υμεις επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προς την οικοδομην της εκκλησιας ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε
13 Therefore let the one speaking with a tongue, pray that one may interpret.
διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη
14 For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my mind is not fruitful.
εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νους μου ακαρπος εστιν
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.
τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και τω νοι
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.
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 you indeed bless beautifully, but the other is not edified.
συ μεν γαρ καλως ευχαριστεις αλλ ο ετερος ουκ οικοδομειται
18 I thank God, I speak with tongue more than you all:
ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαις λαλων
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.
αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογους δια του νοος μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλους κατηχησω η μυριους λογους εν γλωσση
20 Brethren, be not children in intellect: but be infants in evil, but be perfect in intellect.
αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταις φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταις δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε
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.
εν τω νομω γεγραπται οτι εν ετερογλωσσοις και εν χειλεσιν ετεροις λαλησω τω λαω τουτω και ουδ ουτως εισακουσονται μου λεγει κυριος
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.
ωστε αι γλωσσαι εις σημειον εισιν ου τοις πιστευουσιν αλλα τοις απιστοις η δε προφητεια ου τοις απιστοις αλλα τοις πιστευουσιν
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?
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 may prophesy, and some unbeliever or unlearned person may come in, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by 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 thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.
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 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.
τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστος υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προς οικοδομην γενεσθω
27 If one speaks with a tongue, let it he by twos, or at most by threes, and separately; and let one interpret;
ειτε γλωσση τις λαλει κατα δυο η το πλειστον τρεις και ανα μερος και εις διερμηνευετω
28 but if there may be no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church; but let him speak to himself, and to God.
εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτης σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω
29 But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others give audience;
προφηται δε δυο η τρεις λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν
30 but if something may be revealed to another sitting down, let the first be silent.
εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτος σιγατω
31 For you are all able to prophesy one by one, in order that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
δυνασθε γαρ καθ ενα παντες προφητευειν ινα παντες μανθανωσιν και παντες παρακαλωνται
32 Truly the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
και πνευματα προφητων προφηταις υποτασσεται
33 for he is not a God of confusion, but of peace. So in all the churches of the saints,
ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιας ο θεος αλλ ειρηνης ως εν πασαις ταις εκκλησιαις των αγιων
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.
αι γυναικες υμων εν ταις εκκλησιαις σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταις λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθως και ο νομος λεγει
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.
ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τους ιδιους ανδρας επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν
36 Whether did the word of God come out from you? or has it reached unto you alone?
η αφ υμων ο λογος του θεου εξηλθεν η εις υμας μονους κατηντησεν
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;
ει τις δοκει προφητης ειναι η πνευματικος επιγινωσκετω α γραφω υμιν οτι του κυριου εισιν εντολαι
38 but if any one ignores, he is ignored.
ει δε τις αγνοει αγνοειτω
39 So, my brethren, be zealous to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues;
ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαις μη κωλυετε
40 but let all things be done decently and in order.
παντα ευσχημονως και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω
