PROPHECY, TONGUES, AND TRANSLATION
Pursue love and be zealous for spirituals - but rather to prophesy. 2 For whoever speaks in a tongue speaks not to humanity but to Elohim; for no one hearkens; for in spirit, he speaks mysteries. 3 And whoever prophesies to humanity speaks to edification and beseeching and consolation: 4 whoever speaks in a tongue edifies himself; and whoever prophesies edifies the ecclesia. 5 I will that you all speak with tongues but rather that you prophesy: for whoever prophesies is greater than whoever speaks with tongues, - unless he translates to edify the ecclesia. 6 And now brothers, whenever I come to you speaking with tongues, what benefit I you - unless I speak to you either in apocalypse or in knowledge? Or in prophesying or in doctrine? 7 Still the soulless, giving voice, whether flute or cither, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how know we what is fluted or cithered? 8 And whenever the trumpet gives an uncertain voice, who prepares himself to war? 9 Thus likewise you, unless through the tongue, you give words well understood, how know we what is spoken? - for you speak to air. 10 There are, if perhaps, so many genos of voices in the cosmos and none of them is voiceless. 11 So unless ever I know the dynamis of the voice I am as a barbarian to him who speaks and whoever speaks as a barbarian to me. 12 Even thus, since you are zealous of spirits, seek that you superabound to edify the ecclesia. 13 So whoever speaks in a tongue, pray that he translate. 14 For whenever I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what? I pray with the spirit and I pray with the mind also: I psalm with the spirit and I psalm with the mind also. 16 Unless if you eulogize with the spirit, he who fills the place of the unlearned, how says he, upon your eucharist, Amen! - since he perceives not what you word? 17 For indeed you eucharistize well but the other is not edified. 18 I eucharistize my Elohim - I speak with tongues more than you all: 19 yet in the ecclesia I will to speak five words through my mind, to catechize others also, than a myriad words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, be not children in thought: rather be babies in malice and completed/shalamed in thought. 21 In the torah it is scribed, With men in other tongues and in other lips I will to speak to this people; and thus they still hear me not, words Yah Veh. Isaiah 28:11, 12, Deuteronomy 28:49 22 So tongues are not a sign to the trusting but to the trustless: and prophesying is not for the trustless but for the trusting. 23 So whenever the whole ecclesia comes together to one place and all speak with tongues - and an unlearned or a trustless enter, say they not that you rave? 24 And whenever all prophesy and a trustless or an unlearned enters, he is reproved by all; he is judged by all: 25 And thus the secrets of his heart become manifest; and thus falling on his face he worships Elohim and evangelizes that Elohim is in you indeed. 26 So how is it, brothers, when you come together, each of you has a psalm? Has a doctrine? Has a tongue? Has an apocalypse? Has a translation? Have all to edify. 27
RULES FOR SPEAKING IN A TONGUE
Also, if anyone speaks in a tongue, by two, or at the most by three; and that by part - and let one translate. 28 And whenever there is no translator, have him hush in the ecclesia; and speak to himself and to Elohim. 29
RULES FOR PROPHETS AND DISCERNERS
Have the prophets speak two or three, and the others discern: 30 and whenever aught is unveiled to another sitting by, have the first hush. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all learn and all be consoled. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subjugate to the prophets. 33 For Elohim is not of instability - but of shalom, as in all ecclesiae of the holy. 34 Hush your women in the ecclesiae: allow them not to speak; but they are to subjugate, exactly as the torah also words. 35 And if they will to learn somewhat, have them ask their own men at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the ecclesia. 36 Or comes the word of Elohim from you? Or arrives it only to you? 37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, have him acknowledge that those I scribe to you are the misvoth of Adonay. 38 And if anyone is unknowing, have him be unknowing. 39 So, brothers, be zealous to prophesy and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Have all become decorous and in order.
