Prophecy a Superior Gift
1Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. 3But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation. 4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church. 5Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.
1你們要追求愛，也要切慕屬靈的恩賜，其中更要羨慕的，是作先知講道。原文作是說豫言下同2那說方言的，原不是對人說，乃是對神說；因為沒有人聽出來；然而他在心靈裏，卻是講說各樣的奧祕。3但作先知講道的，是對人說，要造就，安慰，勸勉人。4說方言的，是造就自己；作先知講道的，乃是造就教會。5我願意你們都說方言；更願意你們作先知講道；因為說方言的，若不繙出來，使教會被造就，那作先知講道的，就比他強了。
6But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophecy, or of teaching? 7Yet even lifeless instruments, whether flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? 8For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 9So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be talking to the air. 10There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning. 11So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me. 12So you too, since you are eager to possess spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the edification of the church.
6弟兄們，我到你們那裏去，若只說方言，不用啟示，或知識，或豫言，或教訓，給你們講解，我與你們有甚麼益處呢。7就是那有聲無氣的物，或簫，或琴，若發出來的聲音，沒有分別，怎能知道所吹所彈的是甚麼呢。8若吹無定的號聲，誰能豫備打仗呢。9你們也是如此，舌頭若不說容易明白的話，怎能知道所說的是甚麼呢；這就是向空說話了。10世上的聲音，或者甚多，卻沒有一樣是無意思的。11我若不明白那聲音的意思，這說話的人必以我為化外之人，我也以他為化外之人。12你們也是如此，既是切慕屬靈的恩賜，就當求多得造就教會的恩賜。
13Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue is to pray that he may interpret. 14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive. 15What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing with the mind also. 16For otherwise, if you bless God in the spirit only, how will the one who occupies the place of the outsider know to say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you are saying? 17For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified. 18I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19nevertheless, in church I prefer to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
13所以那說方言的，就當求著能繙出來。14我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告；但我的悟性沒有果效。15這卻怎麼樣呢；我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告；我要用靈歌唱，也要用悟性歌唱。16不然，你用靈祝謝，那在座不通方言的人，既然不明白你的話，怎能在你感謝的時候說阿們呢。17你感謝的固然是好，無奈不能造就別人。18我感謝神，我說方言比你們眾人還多；19但在教會中，寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話，強如說萬句方言。
Instruction for the Church
20Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature. 21In the Law it is written: “BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME,” says the Lord. 22So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe. 23Therefore if the whole church gathers together and all the people speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are insane? 24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; 25the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.
20弟兄們，在心志上不要作小孩子；然而在惡事上要作嬰孩；在心志上總要作大人。21律法上記著，說，主說，我要用外邦人的舌頭，和外邦人的嘴唇，向這百姓說話；雖然如此，他們還是不聽從我。22這樣看來，說方言，不是為信的人作證據，乃是為不信的人；作先知講道，不是為不信的人作證據，乃是為信的人。23所以全教會聚在一處的時候，若都說方言，偶然有不通方言的，或是不信的人進來，豈不說你們癲狂了麼。24若都作先知講道，偶然有不信的，或是不通方言的人進來，就被眾人勸醒，被眾人審明；25他心裏的隱情顯露出來，就必將臉伏地，敬拜神，說神真是在你們中間了。
26What is the outcome then, brothers and sisters? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things are to be done for edification. 27If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to interpret; 28but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God. 29Have two or three prophets speak, and have the others pass judgment. 30But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, then the first one is to keep silent. 31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; 32and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.
As in all the churches of the saints, 34the women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. 36Or was it from you that the word of God first went out? Or has it come to you only?

26弟兄們，這卻怎麼樣呢；你們聚會的時候，各人或有詩歌，或有教訓，或有啟示，或有方言，或有繙出來的話；凡事都當造就人。27若有說方言的，只好兩個人，至多三個人，且要輪流著說，也要一個人繙出來；28若沒有人繙，就當在會中閉口；只對自己和神說，就是了。29至於作先知講道的，只好兩個人，或是三個人，其餘的就當慎思明辨。30若旁邊坐著的得了啟示，那先說話的就當閉口不言。31因為你們都可以一個一個的作先知講道，叫眾人學道理，叫眾人得勸勉。32先知的靈，原是順服先知的；33因為神不是叫人混亂，乃是叫人安靜。34婦女在會中要閉口不言，像在聖徒的眾教會一樣；因為不准他們說話；他們總要順服，正如律法所說的。35他們若要學甚麼，可以在家裏問自己的丈夫；因為婦女在會中說話原是可恥的。36神的道理，豈是從你們出來麼；豈是單臨到你們麼。
37If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. 38But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
37若有人以為自己是先知，或是屬靈的，就該知道，我所寫給你們的是主的命令。38若有不知道的，就由他不知道罷。
39Therefore, my brothers and sisters, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40But all things must be done properly and in an orderly way.
39所以我弟兄們，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。40凡事都要規規矩矩的按著次序行。
