Berean Standard Bible
1διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε
1Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
2ο γαρ λαλων γλωσση ουκ ανθρωποισ λαλει αλλα τω θεω ουδεισ γαρ ακουει πνευματι δε λαλει μυστηρια
2For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
3ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποισ λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
4ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει
4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
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
5I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
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
6Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
7ομωσ τα αψυχα φωνην διδοντα ειτε αυλοσ ειτε κιθαρα εαν διαστολην τοισ φθογγοισ μη διδω πωσ γνωσθησεται το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον
7Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
8και γαρ εαν αδηλον φωνην σαλπιγξ δω τισ παρασκευασεται εισ πολεμον
8Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
9ουτωσ και υμεισ δια τησ γλωσσησ εαν μη ευσημον λογον δωτε πωσ γνωσθησεται το λαλουμενον εσεσθε γαρ εισ αερα λαλουντεσ
9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
10τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν αυτων αφωνον
10Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
11εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν τησ φωνησ εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαροσ και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαροσ
11If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
12ουτωσ και υμεισ επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προσ την οικοδομην τησ εκκλησιασ ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε
12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
13διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη
13Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νουσ μου ακαρποσ εστιν
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
15τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και τω νοι
15What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
16επει εαν ευλογησησ τω πνευματι ο αναπληρων τον τοπον του ιδιωτου πωσ ερει το αμην επι τη ση ευχαριστια επειδη τι λεγεισ ουκ οιδεν
16Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
17συ μεν γαρ καλωσ ευχαριστεισ αλλ ο ετεροσ ουκ οικοδομειται
17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
18ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαισ λαλων
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
19αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογουσ δια του νοοσ μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλουσ κατηχησω η μυριουσ λογουσ εν γλωσση
19But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταισ φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταισ δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε
20Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
21εν τω νομω γεγραπται οτι εν ετερογλωσσοισ και εν χειλεσιν ετεροισ λαλησω τω λαω τουτω και ουδ ουτωσ εισακουσονται μου λεγει κυριοσ
21It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
22ωστε αι γλωσσαι εισ σημειον εισιν ου τοισ πιστευουσιν αλλα τοισ απιστοισ η δε προφητεια ου τοισ απιστοισ αλλα τοισ πιστευουσιν
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
23εαν ουν συνελθη η εκκλησια ολη επι το αυτο και παντεσ γλωσσαισ λαλωσιν εισελθωσιν δε ιδιωται η απιστοι ουκ ερουσιν οτι μαινεσθε
23So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
24εαν δε παντεσ προφητευωσιν εισελθη δε τισ απιστοσ η ιδιωτησ ελεγχεται υπο παντων ανακρινεται υπο παντων
24But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
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
25and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
26τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστοσ υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προσ οικοδομην γινεσθω
26What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.
27ειτε γλωσση τισ λαλει κατα δυο η το πλειστον τρεισ και ανα μεροσ και εισ διερμηνευετω
27If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
28εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτησ σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω
28But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
29προφηται δε δυο η τρεισ λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν
29Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτοσ σιγατω
30And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
31δυνασθε γαρ καθ ενα παντεσ προφητευειν ινα παντεσ μανθανωσιν και παντεσ παρακαλωνται
31For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32και πνευματα προφητων προφηταισ υποτασσεται
32The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
33ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιασ ο θεοσ αλλα ειρηνησ ωσ εν πασαισ ταισ εκκλησιαισ των αγιων
33For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
34αι γυναικεσ υμων εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταισ λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθωσ και ο νομοσ λεγει
34Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τουσ ιδιουσ ανδρασ επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν
35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
36η αφ υμων ο λογοσ του θεου εξηλθεν η εισ υμασ μονουσ κατηντησεν
36Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37ει τισ δοκει προφητησ ειναι η πνευματικοσ επιγινωσκετω α γραφω υμιν οτι κυριου εισιν εντολαι
37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
38ει δε τισ αγνοει αγνοειτω
38But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
39ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαισ μη κωλυετε
39So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40παντα ευσχημονωσ και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω
40But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
