Bible. Corinthians, 1st
46:013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in
part shall be done away.
46:013:011 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a
child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put
away childish things.
46:013:012 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known.
46:013:013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity.
46:014:001 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather
that ye may prophesy.
46:014:002 For 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.
46:014:003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.
46:014:004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he
that prophesieth edifieth the church.
46:014:005 I 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.
46:014:006 Now, 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?
46:014:007 And 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?
46:014:008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare
himself to the battle?
46:014:009 So 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.
46:014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world,
and none of them is without signification.
46:014:011 Therefore 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.
46:014:012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts,
seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
46:014:013 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that
he may interpret.
46:014:014 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
46:014:015 What 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.
