절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Speaking Unknown Languages and Prophesying Love should be your guide. Be eager to have the gifts that come from the Holy Spirit, especially the gift of prophecy.	Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2	If you speak languages that others don't know, God will understand what you are saying, though no one else will know what you mean. You will be talking about mysteries that only the Spirit understands.	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 when you prophesy, you will be understood, and others will be helped. They will be encouraged and made to feel better.	But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4	By speaking languages that others don't know, you help only yourself. But by prophesying you help everyone in the church.	He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5	I am glad for you to speak unknown languages, although I prefer that you would prophesy. In fact, prophesying does much more good than speaking unknown languages, unless someone can help the church by explaining what you mean.	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	My friends, what good would it do, if I came and spoke unknown languages to you and didn't explain what I meant? How would I help you, unless I told you what God had shown me or gave you some knowledge or prophecy or teaching?	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	If all musical instruments sounded alike, how would you know the difference between a flute and a harp?	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	If a bugle call isn't clear, how would you know to get ready for battle?	For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9	This is how it is when you speak unknown languages. If no one can understand what you are talking about, you will only be talking to the wind.	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 many different languages in this world, and all of them make sense.	There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11	But if I don't understand the language that someone is using, we will be like foreigners to each other.	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	If you really want spiritual gifts, choose the ones that will be most helpful to the church.	Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13	When we speak languages that others don't know, we should pray for the power to explain what we mean.	Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14	For example, if I use an unknown language in my prayers, my spirit prays but my mind is useless.	For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15	Then what should I do? There are times when I should pray with my spirit, and times when I should pray with my mind. Sometimes I should sing with my spirit, and at other times I should sing with my mind.	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	Suppose some strangers are in your worship service, when you are praising God with your spirit. If they don't understand you, how will they know to say, “Amen”?	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	You may be worshiping God in a wonderful way, but no one else will be helped.	For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18	I thank God that I speak unknown languages more than any of you.	I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19	But words that make sense can help the church. This is why in church I would rather speak five words that make sense than to speak 10,000 words in a language that others don't know.	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	My friends, stop thinking like children. Think like mature people and be as innocent as tiny babies.	Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21	In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I will use strangers who speak unknown languages to talk to my people. They will speak to them in foreign languages, but still my people won't listen to me.”	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	Languages others don't know may mean something to unbelievers, but not to the Lord's followers. Prophecy, on the other hand, is for followers, not for unbelievers.	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	Suppose everyone in your worship service started speaking unknown languages, and some outsiders or some unbelievers come in. Won't they think you are crazy?	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 suppose all of you are prophesying when those unbelievers and outsiders come in. They will realize that they are sinners, and they will want to change their ways because of what you are saying.	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	They will tell what is hidden in their hearts. Then they will kneel down and say to God, “We are certain that you are with these people.”	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	Worship Must Be Orderly My friends, when you meet to worship, you must do everything for the good of everyone there. That's how it should be when someone sings or teaches or tells what God has said or speaks an unknown language or explains what the language means.	How is it then, brethren? 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 unto edifying.
27	No more than two or three of you should speak unknown languages during the meeting. You must take turns, and someone should always be there to explain what you mean.	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	If no one can explain, you must keep silent in church and speak only to yourself and to God.	But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29	Two or three persons may prophesy, and everyone else must listen carefully.	Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30	If someone sitting there receives a message from God, the speaker must stop and let the other person speak.	If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31	Let only one person speak at a time, then all of you will learn something and be encouraged.	For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32	A prophet should be willing to stop and let someone else speak.	And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33	God wants everything to be done peacefully and in order. When God's people meet in church,	For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34	the women must not be allowed to speak. They must keep quiet and listen, as the Law of Moses teaches.	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	If there is something they want to know, they can ask their husbands when they get home. It is disgraceful for women to speak in church.	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	God's message did not start with you people, and you are not the only ones it has reached.	What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37	If you think of yourself as a prophet or a spiritual person, you will know I am writing only what the Lord has commanded.	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	So don't pay attention to anyone who ignores what I am writing.	But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39	My friends, be eager to prophesy and don't stop anyone from speaking languages that others don't know.	Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40	But do everything properly and in order.	Let all things be done decently and in order.
