Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
1διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε
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.
2ο γαρ λαλων γλωσση ουκ ανθρωποισ λαλει αλλα τω θεω ουδεισ γαρ ακουει πνευματι δε λαλει μυστηρια
3But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποισ λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν
4He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
4ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει
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.
5θελω 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
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?
6νυνι 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
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?
7ομωσ τα αψυχα φωνην διδοντα ειτε αυλοσ ειτε κιθαρα εαν διαστολην τοισ φθογγοισ μη διδω πωσ γνωσθησεται το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
8και γαρ εαν αδηλον φωνην σαλπιγξ δω τισ παρασκευασεται εισ πολεμον
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.
9ουτωσ και υμεισ δια τησ γλωσσησ εαν μη ευσημον λογον δωτε πωσ γνωσθησεται το λαλουμενον εσεσθε γαρ εισ αερα λαλουντεσ
10There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
10τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν αυτων αφωνον
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.
11εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν τησ φωνησ εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαροσ και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαροσ
12So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
12ουτωσ και υμεισ επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προσ την οικοδομην τησ εκκλησιασ ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε
13And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
13διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
14εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νουσ μου ακαρποσ εστιν
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.
15τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και τω νοι
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.
16επει εαν ευλογησησ τω πνευματι ο αναπληρων τον τοπον του ιδιωτου πωσ ερει το αμην επι τη ση ευχαριστια επειδη τι λεγεισ ουκ οιδεν
17For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
17συ μεν γαρ καλωσ ευχαριστεισ αλλ ο ετεροσ ουκ οικοδομειται
18I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
18ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαισ λαλων
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.
19αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογουσ δια του νοοσ μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλουσ κατηχησω η μυριουσ λογουσ εν γλωσση
20Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
20αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταισ φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταισ δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε
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.
21εν τω νομω γεγραπται οτι εν ετερογλωσσοισ και εν χειλεσιν ετεροισ λαλησω τω λαω τουτω και ουδ ουτωσ εισακουσονται μου λεγει κυριοσ
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
22ωστε αι γλωσσαι εισ σημειον εισιν ου τοισ πιστευουσιν αλλα τοισ απιστοισ η δε προφητεια ου τοισ απιστοισ αλλα τοισ πιστευουσιν
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?
23εαν ουν συνελθη η εκκλησια ολη επι το αυτο και παντεσ γλωσσαισ λαλωσιν εισελθωσιν δε ιδιωται η απιστοι ουκ ερουσιν οτι μαινεσθε
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.
24εαν δε παντεσ προφητευωσιν εισελθη δε τισ απιστοσ η ιδιωτησ ελεγχεται υπο παντων ανακρινεται υπο παντων
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.
25και ουτωσ τα κρυπτα τησ καρδιασ αυτου φανερα γινεται και ουτωσ πεσων επι προσωπον προσκυνησει τω θεω απαγγελλων οτι ο θεοσ οντωσ εν υμιν εστιν
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.
26τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστοσ υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προσ οικοδομην γινεσθω
27If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.
27ειτε γλωσση τισ λαλει κατα δυο η το πλειστον τρεισ και ανα μεροσ και εισ διερμηνευετω
28But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
28εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτησ σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω
29And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
29προφηται δε δυο η τρεισ λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν
30But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
30εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτοσ σιγατω
31For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
31δυνασθε γαρ καθ ενα παντεσ προφητευειν ινα παντεσ μανθανωσιν και παντεσ παρακαλωνται
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32και πνευματα προφητων προφηταισ υποτασσεται
33For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
33ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιασ ο θεοσ αλλα ειρηνησ ωσ εν πασαισ ταισ εκκλησιαισ των αγιων
34Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
34αι γυναικεσ υμων εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταισ λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθωσ και ο νομοσ λεγει
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.
35ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τουσ ιδιουσ ανδρασ επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν
36Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
36η αφ υμων ο λογοσ του θεου εξηλθεν η εισ υμασ μονουσ κατηντησεν
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.
37ει τισ δοκει προφητησ ειναι η πνευματικοσ επιγινωσκετω α γραφω υμιν οτι κυριου εισιν εντολαι
38But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
38ει δε τισ αγνοει αγνοειτω
39Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαισ μη κωλυετε
40But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
40παντα ευσχημονωσ και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω
