Themes in 1 Corinthians 14

1 Corinthians 14:1

Follow after love: and desire spiritual gifts; but especially that ye may prophesy.

1 Corinthians 14:2

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

1 Corinthians 14:3

Whereas he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

1 Corinthians 14:4

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.

1 Corinthians 14:5

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for he that prophesieth, is greater than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

1 Corinthians 14:6

Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you, either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?

1 Corinthians 14:7

So inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

And if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?

1 Corinthians 14:9

So likewise unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye will speak to the air.

1 Corinthians 14:10

Let there be ever so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them without signification:

1 Corinthians 14:11

Yet if I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him that speaketh, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

1 Corinthians 14:12

So ye also, seeing ye desire spiritual gifts, seek to abound in them, to the edifying of the church.

1 Corinthians 14:13

Therefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret.

1 Corinthians 14:14

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my Spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

1 Corinthians 14:15

What then is my duty? I will pray with the Spirit; but I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the Spirit; but I will sing with the understanding also.

1 Corinthians 14:16

Otherwise if thou givest thanks with the Spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of a private person, say Amen to thy thanksgiving, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

1 Corinthians 14:17

For thou verily givest thanks well; yet the other is not edified.

1 Corinthians 14:18

I thank God, that I speak with tongues more than you all.

1 Corinthians 14:19

Yet in the congregation I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

It is written in the law, In foreign tongues and with foreign lips will I speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.

Whereas if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or an ignorant person, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all:

The secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is among you of a truth.

1 Corinthians 14:26

What a thing is it, brethren, that when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation?

Let all things be done to edification. If any one speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two or three at most, and that by course, and let one interpret.

let the first be silent.

Did the word of God come out from you? or did it come to you alone?
