2:6. Howbeit we
speak
wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this
world,
nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the
hidden
[wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they
known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard,
neither
have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.
10. But
God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11. For what man
knoweth the things of
a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of
God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12.
Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of
God.
13. Which things
also we speak, not in
the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14.
But the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
15. But he that
is spiritual judgeth
all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord,
that he may instruct him? But
we have the mind
of Christ. |

1
Corinthians 13
[12]
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.
[13]
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
1
Corinthians 14
[1]
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather
that ye
may prophesy.
[2]
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.
[3]
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.
[4]
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
[5] 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.
[6]
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?
[7]
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?
[8]
For if the trumpet give
an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle?
[9]
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.
[10]
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
them is without signification.
[11]
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.
[12]
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that
ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
[13]
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may
interpret.
[14]
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding
is unfruitful.
[15]
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.
[16]
Else 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?
[17]
For thou verily givest
thanks well, but the other is not edified.
[18]
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
[19]
Yet 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.
[20]
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye
children, but in understanding be men.
[21]
In 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.
[22]
Wherefore 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.
[23]
If 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?
[24]
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one
unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
[25]
And 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.
[26]
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, everyone of you hath a
psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an
interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
[27]
If 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.
[28]
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in
the church; and
let him speak to himself, and to God.
[29]
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
[30] If any thing be
revealed to
another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
[31] For ye may all prophesy
one by one, that
all may learn, and all may be comforted.
[32]
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
[33]
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all
churches of the saints.
[34]
Let 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.
[35]
And 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.
[36]
What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
[37]
If 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.
[38]
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
[39]
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with
tongues.
[40]
Let all things be done decently and in order. |
