26那麼，弟兄姊妹，你們該怎麼做呢？你們聚會的時候，不管是唱詩、教導、講啟示、說方言或翻譯方言，都應該是為了造就人。27如果有人要說方言，應當只限於兩個人，最多三個，要輪流說，而且要有人把它翻譯出來。28如果沒有人翻譯，說方言的人就當在聚會中閉口不言，只向自己和上帝說。29作先知講道的也應該限於兩三個人，其他的人應當慎思明辨。30但如果上帝的啟示臨到在座的其他人，正在講的人要停下來，31這樣大家都可以輪流講道，人人都可以得到教導和勉勵。32先知的靈受先知控制，33因為上帝不是叫人混亂的上帝，而是賜人平安的上帝。34正如聖徒的各教會一樣，婦女*在聚會中要保持安靜，因為她們不可以發言，總要順服，正如律法書所說的。35如果她們想要學什麼，可以在家問自己的丈夫，因為婦女在聚會中發言是可恥的。36難道上帝的道是出自你們哥林多人嗎？難道上帝的道單單傳給了你們嗎？37如果你們當中有人自認為是先知或屬靈的人，他就應該知道我現在所寫的是主的命令。38如果有人對此視而不見，不必理會他。39所以，我的弟兄姊妹，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。40但無論做什麼事，都要按規矩，有次序。

Prophecy and Tongues
1Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.2For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.3On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.4The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.5Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.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?7If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played?8And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?9So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air.10There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning,11but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.12So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.13Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.15What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.16Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider* say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?17For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up.18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.19Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.20Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.21In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”22Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign* not for unbelievers but for believers.23If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,25the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.
Orderly Worship
26What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.27If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret.28But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.30If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent.31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,32and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.33For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,34the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.35If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.36Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?37If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord.38If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.39So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.40But all things should be done decently and in order.
