1 Corinthians 14:5-26 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

5 G2309 Now I desire G5209 to have you G3956 all G2980 speak G1100 with other languages, G1161 but G3123 rather G2443 that G4395 you would prophesy. G1063 For G3187 he is greater G3588 who G4395 prophesies G2228 than G3588 he who G2980 speaks G1100 with other languages, G1487 unless G3361 G1329 he interprets, G2443 that G1577 the assembly G2983 may be G3619 built up.

6 G3570 But now, G80 brothers, G1437 if G2064 I come G4314 to G5209 you G2980 speaking G1100 with other languages, G5101 what G5623 would I profit G5209 you, G1437 unless G3361 G2980 I speak G5213 to you G2228 either G1722 by G602 way of revelation, G2228 or G1722 of G1108 knowledge, G2228 or G1722 of G4394 prophesying, G2228 or G1722 of G1322 teaching?

7 G3676 Even G3588 things G895 without life, G1325 giving G5456 a voice, G1535 whether G836 pipe G1535 or G2788 harp, G3361 if they didn't G1325 give G3361 a G1293 distinction G5353 in the sounds, G4459 how G1097 would it be known G3588 what G832 is piped G2228 or G2789 harped?

8 G1063 For G2532 G1437 if G4536 the trumpet G1325 gave G82 an uncertain G5456 sound, G5101 who G3903 would prepare himself G1519 for G4171 war?

9 G3779 So G2532 also G5210 you, G1437 unless G3361 G1325 you uttered G1223 by G1100 the tongue G3056 words G2154 easy G2071 to G2154 understand, G4459 how G1097 would it be known G3588 what G2980 is spoken? G1063 For G2980 you would be speaking G1519 into G109 the air.

10 G2076 There are, G1487 it may G5177 be, G5118 so many G1085 kinds G5456 of sounds G1722 in G2889 the world, G2532 and G3762 none G846 of them G880 is without meaning.

11 G1437 If G3767 then G3361 I don't G1492 know G1411 the meaning G5456 of the sound, G2071 I would be G3588 to him G2980 who speaks G915 a foreigner, G2532 and G3588 he G2980 who speaks G915 would be a foreigner G1722 to G1698 me.

12 G3779 So G2532 also G5210 you, G1893 since G2075 you are G2207 zealous G4151 for spiritual G2212 gifts, seek G2443 that G4052 you may abound G4314 to G3619 the building G1577 up of the assembly.

13 G1355 Therefore G3588 let him G2980 who speaks G1100 in another language G4336 pray G2443 that G1329 he may interpret.

14 G1063 For G1437 if G4336 I pray G1100 in another language, G3450 my G4151 spirit G4336 prays, G1161 but G3450 my G3563 understanding G2076 is G175 unfruitful.

15 G5101 What G2076 is it G3767 then? G4336 I will pray G4151 with the spirit, G1161 and G4336 I will pray G3563 with the understanding G2532 also. G5567 I will sing G4151 with the spirit, G1161 and G5567 I will sing G3563 with the understanding G2532 also.

16 G1893 Otherwise G1437 if G2127 you bless G4151 with the spirit, G4459 how G378 will G3588 he who G378 fills G5117 the place G2399 of the unlearned G2046 say G281 the "Amen" G1909 at G4674 your G2169 giving of thanks, G1894 seeing G3756 he doesn't G1492 know G5101 what G3004 you say?

17 G1063 For G4771 you G3303 most certainly G2168 give thanks G2573 well, G235 but G2087 the other G3618 person is G3756 not G3618 built up.

18 G2168 I thank G3450 my G2316 God, G2980 I speak G1100 with other languages G3123 more than G5216 you G3956 all.

19 G235 However G1722 in G1577 the assembly G2309 I would rather G2980 speak G4002 five G3056 words G1223 with G3450 my G3563 understanding, G2443 that G2727 I might instruct G243 others G2532 also, G2228 than G3463 ten thousand G3056 words G1722 in G1100 another language.

20 G80 Brothers, G1096 don't be G3813 children G5424 in thoughts, G235 yet G2549 in malice G1096 be G3515 babies, G235 but G5424 in thoughts G1096 be G5046 mature.

21 G1722 In G3551 the law G3754 it is written, G1722 "By G2084 men of strange languages G2532 and G1722 by G5491 the lips G2087 of strangers G2980 I will speak G5129 to this G2992 people. G2532 G3761 Not G3779 even thus G1522 will they G1522 hear G3450 me, G3004 says G2962 the Lord."

22 G5620 Therefore G1100 other languages G1526 are G1519 for G4592 a sign, G3756 not G3588 to those G4100 who believe, G235 but G3588 to the G571 unbelieving; G1161 but G4394 prophesying G571 is for a sign, not G3588 to the G571 unbelieving, G235 but G3588 to those G4100 who believe.

23 G1437 If G3767 therefore G3650 the whole G1577 assembly G4905 is assembled together G2532 and G3956 all G2980 speak G1100 with other languages, G1161 and G2399 unlearned G2228 or G571 unbelieving G1525 people come in, G3756 won't G2046 they G2046 say G3754 that G3105 you are crazy?

24 G1161 But G1437 if G3956 all G4395 prophesy, G1161 and G5100 someone G571 unbelieving G2228 or G2399 unlearned G1525 comes in, G1651 he is reproved G5259 by G3956 all, G350 and he is judged G5259 by G3956 all.

25 G2532 And G3779 thus G2927 the secrets G846 of his G2588 heart G1096 are G5318 revealed. G2532 G3779 So G4098 he will fall down G1909 on G4383 his face G4352 and worship G2316 God, G518 declaring G3754 that G2316 God G2076 is G1722 among G5213 you G3689 indeed.

26 G5101 What G2076 is it G3767 then, G80 brothers? G3752 When G4905 you come together, G1538 each one G5216 of you G2192 has G5568 a psalm, G2192 has G1322 a teaching, G2192 has G602 a revelation, G2192 has G1100 another language, G2192 has G2058 an interpretation. G1096 Let G3956 all things G1096 be done G4314 to G3619 build each other up.
