1 Corinthians 14
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy.
1διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε
2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in 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 unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποισ λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν
4He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
4ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει
5I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
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
6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by 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
7And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the 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 ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak 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, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
10τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν αυτων αφωνον
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
11εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν τησ φωνησ εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαροσ και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαροσ
12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts , seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
12ουτωσ και υμεισ επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προσ την οικοδομην τησ εκκλησιασ ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε
13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
13διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη
14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νουσ μου ακαρποσ εστιν
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
15τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και τω νοι
16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth 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 verily 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 tongues more than ye all:
18ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαισ λαλων
19Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
19αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογουσ δια του νοοσ μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλουσ κατηχησω η μυριουσ λογουσ εν γλωσση
20Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
20αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταισ φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταισ δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε
21In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not 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 them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
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 be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye 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 one unlearned, 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
25And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
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 ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
26τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστοσ υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προσ οικοδομην γινεσθω
27If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by 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 keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
28εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτησ σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω
29Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
29προφηται δε δυο η τρεισ λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν
30If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
30εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτοσ σιγατω
31For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
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 author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
33ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιασ ο θεοσ αλλα ειρηνησ ωσ εν πασαισ ταισ εκκλησιαισ των αγιων
34Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
34αι γυναικεσ υμων εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταισ λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθωσ και ο νομοσ λεγει
35And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
35ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τουσ ιδιουσ ανδρασ επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν
36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
36η αφ υμων ο λογοσ του θεου εξηλθεν η εισ υμασ μονουσ κατηντησεν
37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you 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 be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38ει δε τισ αγνοει αγνοειτω
39Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαισ μη κωλυετε
40Let all things be done decently and in order.
40παντα ευσχημονωσ και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω
