Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
1你們要追求愛，也要切慕屬靈的 恩賜 ，其中更要羨慕的，是作先知講道。
2For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
2那說方言的，原不是對人說，乃是對上帝說，因為沒有人聽出來。然而，他在心靈裏卻是講說各樣的奧祕。
3But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3但作先知講道的，是對人說，要造就、安慰、勸勉人。
4He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
4說方言的，是造就自己；作先知講道的，乃是造就教會。
5And 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.
5我願意你們都說方言，更願意你們作先知講道；因為說方言的，若不翻出來，使教會被造就，那作先知講道的，就比他強了。
6But 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?
6弟兄們，我到你們那裏去，若只說方言，不用啟示，或知識，或預言，或教訓，給你們講解，我與你們有甚麼益處呢？
7Even 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?
7就是那有聲無氣的物，或簫，或琴，若發出來的聲音沒有分別，怎能知道所吹所彈的是甚麼呢？
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
8若吹無定的號聲，誰能預備打仗呢？
9So 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.
9你們也是如此。舌頭若不說容易明白的話，怎能知道所說的是甚麼呢？這就是向空說話了。
10There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
10世上的聲音，或者甚多，卻沒有一樣是無意思的。
11If 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.
11我若不明白那聲音的意思，這說話的人必以我為化外之人，我也以他為化外之人。
12So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
12你們也是如此，既是切慕屬靈的 恩賜 ，就當求多得造就教會的恩賜。
13And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
13所以那說方言的，就當求着能翻出來。
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
14我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。
15What 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.
15這卻怎麼樣呢？我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告；我要用靈歌唱，也要用悟性歌唱。
16Else 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.
16不然，你用靈祝謝，那在座不通方言的人，既然不明白你的話，怎能在你感謝的時候說「阿們」呢？
17For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
17你感謝的固然是好，無奈不能造就別人。
18I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
18我感謝上帝，我說方言比你們眾人還多。
19But 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.
19但在教會中，寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話，強如說萬句方言。
20Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
20弟兄們，在心志上不要作小孩子。然而，在惡事上要作嬰孩，在心志上總要作大人。
21In 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.
21律法上記着： 主說：我要用外邦人的舌頭 和外邦人的嘴唇向這百姓說話； 雖然如此， 他們還是不聽從我。
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
22這樣看來，說方言不是為信的人作證據，乃是為不信的人；作先知講道不是為不信的人 作證據 ，乃是為信的人。
23If 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?
23所以，全教會聚在一處的時候，若都說方言，偶然有不通方言的，或是不信的人進來，豈不說你們癲狂了嗎？
24But 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.
24若都作先知講道，偶然有不信的，或是不通方言的人進來，就被眾人勸醒，被眾人審明，
25The 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.
25他心裏的隱情顯露出來，就必將臉伏地，敬拜上帝，說：「上帝真是在你們中間了。」
26How 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.
26弟兄們，這卻怎麼樣呢？你們聚會的時候，各人或有詩歌，或有教訓，或有啟示，或有方言，或有翻出來的話，凡事都當造就人。
27If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.
27若有說方言的，只好兩個人，至多三個人，且要輪流着說，也要一個人翻出來。
28But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
28若沒有人翻，就當在會中閉口，只對自己和上帝說就是了。
29And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
29至於作先知講道的，只好兩個人或是三個人，其餘的就當 慎思 明辨。
30But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
30若旁邊坐着的得了啟示，那先說話的就當閉口不言。
31For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
31因為你們都可以一個一個地作先知講道，叫眾人學道理，叫眾人得勸勉。
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32先知的靈原是順服先知的；
33For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
33因為上帝不是叫人混亂，乃是叫人安靜。
34Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
34婦女在會中要閉口不言，像在聖徒的眾教會一樣，因為不准她們說話。她們總要順服，正如律法所說的。
35But 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.
35她們若要學甚麼，可以在家裏問自己的丈夫，因為婦女在會中說話原是可恥的。
36Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
36上帝的道理豈是從你們出來嗎？豈是單臨到你們嗎？
37If 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.
37若有人以為自己是先知，或是屬靈的，就該知道，我所寫給你們的是主的命令。
38But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
38若有不知道的，就由他不知道吧！
39Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39所以我弟兄們，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。
40But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
40凡事都要規規矩矩地按着次序行。
