that in every thing you are enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge,

I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected in the same mind and the same will.

For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the good news, not with a wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ should be without effect.

And when I came to you, brothers, I came not with excellency of speech, or wisdom, declaring to you the mystery of God.

and my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the spirit and power,

But we speak wisdom among the perfect, but not the wisdom of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, who are destroyed;

but we speak a wisdom of God hid in mystery, which God appointed from eternity for our glory,

which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ.

I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers?

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not leave her;

or does he speak entirely for our sakes? For our sakes, doubtless, it was written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and that he who threshes in hope should partake of it.

I speak as to wise men; judge what I say.

have all gifts of performing cures? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man I put away childish things.

I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you should prophesy; and he that prophesies is greater than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the assembly may receive edification.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you by a revelation, or by a knowledge, or by a prophecy, or by a doctrine?

So also you by a tongue if you utter a word not easily understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you will speak to the air.

I thank God I speak with a tongue more than you all;

but in an assembly I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may also teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

For it is written in the law, With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak to this people, and so they shall not understand me, says the Lord.

If, therefore, the whole church comes together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in the unlearned and unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

and if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the rest judge;

As in all the churches of the saints, let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

But if they wish to learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in an assembly.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues;

Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.
