But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he speaks to people to help them grow, to encourage them, and to comfort them.

1 Corinthians 14:4 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he helps the church grow.

1 Corinthians 14:5 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church grow.

1 Corinthians 14:6 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Brothers and sisters, it wouldn’t do you any good if I came to you speaking in other languages, unless I explained revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or doctrine to you.

Musical instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. If there is no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
For example, if the trumpet doesn’t sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

1 Corinthians 14:9 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
In the same way, if you don’t speak in a way that can be understood, how will anyone know what you’re saying? You will be talking into thin air.

1 Corinthians 14:10 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
No matter how many different languages there are in the world, not one of them is without meaning.

1 Corinthians 14:11 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If I don’t know what a language means, I will be a foreigner to the person who speaks it and that person will be a foreigner to me.

1 Corinthians 14:12 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
In the same way, since you’re eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in them so that you help the church grow.

1 Corinthians 14:13 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the person who speaks in another language should pray for an interpretation of what he says.

1 Corinthians 14:14 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my mind is not productive.

1 Corinthians 14:15 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So what does this mean? It means that I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my mind. I will sing psalms with my spirit, and I will sing psalms with my mind.

1 Corinthians 14:16 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Otherwise, if you praise God only with your spirit, how can outsiders say “Amen!” to your prayer of thanksgiving? They don’t know what you’re saying.

1 Corinthians 14:17 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Your prayer of thanksgiving may be very good, but it doesn’t help other people grow.

1 Corinthians 14:18 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I thank God that I speak in other languages more than any of you.

1 Corinthians 14:19 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Yet, in order to teach others in church, I would rather say five words that can be understood than ten thousand words in another language.

1 Corinthians 14:20 (GW)

God’s word says, “Through people who speak foreign languages and through the mouths of foreigners I will speak to these people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 14:22 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the gift of speaking in other languages is a sign for unbelievers, not for believers. The gift of speaking what God has revealed is a sign for believers, not for unbelievers.

1 Corinthians 14:23 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Suppose the whole congregation gathers in the same place and you speak in other languages. When outsiders or unbelievers come in, won’t they say that you’re out of your mind?

1 Corinthians 14:24 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Now suppose you speak what God has revealed. When unbelievers or outsiders come in you will show them where they are wrong and convince them that they are sinners.

The secrets in their hearts will become known, and in this way they will quickly bow with their faces touching the ground, worship God, and confess that God is truly among you.

1 Corinthians 14:26 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So what does this mean, brothers and sisters? When you gather, each person has a psalm, doctrine, revelation, another language, or an interpretation. Everything must be done to help each other grow.

1 Corinthians 14:27 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If people speak in other languages, only two or three at the most should speak. They should do it one at a time, and someone must interpret what each person says.

1 Corinthians 14:28 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But if an interpreter isn’t present, those people should remain silent in church. They should only speak to themselves and to God.

1 Corinthians 14:29 (GW)

People who speak what God has revealed must control themselves.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (GW)

1 Corinthians 14:34 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
the women must keep silent. They don’t have the right to speak. They must take their place as Moses’ Teachings say.

1 Corinthians 14:35 (GW)

1 Corinthians 14:37 (GW)
