1 Corinthians 14 Flashcards
Follow th
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the spirit especially prophecy.
1 Corinthians 14:1
For an
Enn
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed no one knows what they are saying, they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 14:2
But the o
But the w
But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening encouraging, and comfort.
1 Corinthians 14:3
Anyone who s
Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 14:4
I would like e
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
1 Corinthians 14:5
Even in
Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
1 Corinthians 14:7
Ag
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
1 Corinthians 14:8
Und
Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
1 Corinthians 14:10
If then
If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.
1 Corinthians 14:11
For this reason th
For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.
1 Corinthians 14:13
For if I pr
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:14
So wha
So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.
1 Corinthians 14:15
Other
Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?
1 Corinthians 14:16
You are gi
You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.
1 Corinthians 14:17
But in th
But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:19
Brothers and sisters st
Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
1 Corinthians 14:20
In the L
In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 14:21
Ton
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
1 Corinthians 14:22
So if th
So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
1 Corinthians 14:23
But if an
But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all,
1 Corinthians 14:24
as th
as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
1 Corinthians 14:25
What then sh
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
1 Corinthians 14:26
If anyone sp
If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:27
If there is no in
If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
1 Corinthians 14:28
two
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
1 Corinthians 14:29
And if a r
And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
1 Corinthians 14:30
For you c
For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
1 Corinthians 14:31
The spirits
The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
1 Corinthians 14:32
For God is
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.
1 Corinthians 14:33
Wom
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
1 Corinthians 14:34
If they wa
If they want to inquire about something they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
1 Corinthians 14:35
Or d
Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?
1 Corinthians 14:36
If anyone th
If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.
1 Corinthians 14:37
But if any
But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.
1 Corinthians 14:38
Therefore, my bro
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:39
But everyth
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
1 Corinthians 14:40
Now, b
Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
1 Corinthians 14:6
