我希望你们都说方言，更希望你们作先知讲道；因为说方言的，若不解释出来，使教会得造就，那作先知讲道的就比他强了。

我愿意你们都说方言，更愿意你们作先知讲道；因为说方言的，若不翻出来，使教会被造就，那作先知讲道的，就比他强了。

我希望你们都说方言，更希望你们作先知讲道；因为说方言的，若不解释出来，使教会得造就，那作先知讲道的就比他强了。

我希望你们都能够说方言，不过，我更希望你们都能做先知讲道。说方言的不如做先知讲道的重要，除非把方言翻译出来，使教会得造就。

我愿意你们都说方言，但我更愿意你们都讲道；因为那说方言的，如果不翻译出来使教会得着造就，就远不如那讲道的了。

我虽然希望你们都说殊言，但更希望你们都做先知传道。因为，除非说殊言的能把殊言翻译出来使教会得到造就，否则那做先知传道的就比说殊言的更大了。

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，若不翻出來，使教會被造就，那作先知講道的，就比他強了。

我希望你們都說方言，更希望你們作先知講道；因為說方言的，若不解釋出來，使教會得造就，那作先知講道的就比他強了。

我希望你們都說方言，更希望你們作先知講道；因為說方言的，若不解釋出來，使教會得造就，那作先知講道的就比他強了。

我希望你們都能夠說方言，不過，我更希望你們都能作先知講道。說方言的不如作先知講道的重要，除非把方言翻譯出來，使教會得造就。

我願意你們都說方言，但我更願意你們都講道；因為那說方言的，如果不翻譯出來使教會得著造就，就遠不如那講道的了。

我願你們都能捲舌頭說話，但更願你們傳講神言。因為捲舌頭說話的、除非解釋出來、使教會得建立，那傳講神言的就比他強。

我雖然希望你們都說殊言，但更希望你們都做先知傳道。因為，除非說殊言的能把殊言翻譯出來使教會得到造就，否則那做先知傳道的就比說殊言的更大了。

我願爾眾言方言、尤願爾預言、蓋言方言者、若不譯之、使會建立、則預言者較之為大矣、

吾願爾眾、言諸國方言、最要者設教、蓋設教、較之言諸國方言為大、如言諸國方言、則當自譯、使會獲益、

我願爾曹皆言方言、更願爾為先知講道、蓋言方言者、若不解使教會建德、則為先知講道者、較彼為大、

吾固願爾等皆能操方言、顧吾尤望爾等能作預言。蓋操方言者、苟非自譯以裨會眾、則不若預言之為愈也。

I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.

I would like all of you to speak in other languages. But I would rather have you prophesy. The person who prophesies is more helpful than those who speak in other languages. But that is not the case if someone explains what was said in the other languages. Then the whole church can be built up.

Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.

I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy. For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be strengthened.

I wish all of you spoke in tongues, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

Now 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.

I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

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.

I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

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.

又有人能行异能，又有人能作先知，又有人能辨别诸灵，又有人能说方言，又有人能翻方言。

我若能说人间的方言，甚至天使的语言，却没有爱，我就成为鸣的锣、响的钹一般。

信的人将有神迹随着他们：就是奉我的名赶鬼；说新方言；

爱是恒久忍耐；又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，

我感谢神，我说方言比你们众人还多；但在教会中，我宁可用理智说五句教导人的话，强过说万句方言。弟兄们，在心志上不要作小孩子。但是，在恶事上要作婴孩，而在心志上总要作大人。律法上记着：“主说：我要用外邦人的舌头和外邦人的嘴唇向这百姓说话；虽然如此，他们还是不听从我。”这样看来，说方言不是为信的人作标记，而是为不信的人；作先知讲道不是为不信的人作标记，而是为信的人。所以，全教会聚在一处的时候，若都说方言，偶然有不通方言的或是不信的人进来，岂不会说你们疯了吗？若个个都作先知讲道，偶然有不信的或是不懂方言的人进来，就被众人劝戒，被众人审问，他心里的隐情被显露出来，就必将脸伏地，敬拜神，宣告说：“神真的是在你们中间了。”弟兄们，那么，你们该怎么做呢？你们聚会的时候，各人或有诗歌，或有教导，或有启示，或有方言，或有翻出来，凡事都应当造就人。若有说方言的，只可有两个人，至多三个人，且要轮流着说，也要有一个人翻出来。若没有人翻，就当在会中闭口，只对自己和神说就是了。至于作先知讲道的，只可有两个人或是三个人，其余的人当慎思明辨。假如旁边坐着的得了启示，那先说话的就当闭口不言。因为你们都可以一个一个地作先知讲道，使众人都可以学习，使众人都得劝勉。先知的灵是顺服先知的，因为神不是叫人混乱，而是叫人和谐的神。在圣徒的众教会中，妇女应该闭口不言；因为，不准她们说话，总要顺服，正如律法所说的。她们若要学什么，应该在家里问自己的丈夫，因为妇女在会中说话是可耻的。难道神的话是从你们出来的吗？难道是单临到你们的吗？若有人自以为是先知，或是属灵的，就应该知道，我所写给你们的是主的命令。若有不理会的，你们也不必理会他。所以，我的弟兄们，你们要切慕作先知讲道的恩赐，不要禁止说方言。凡事都要规规矩矩地按着次序行。

你们也是如此，既然你们切慕属灵的恩赐，就当追求多得造就教会的恩赐。所以，那说方言的，就当祈求有翻方言的恩赐。

嫩的儿子约书亚，年轻时就作摩西的助手，说：“请我主摩西禁止他们。”摩西对他说：“你为我的缘故嫉妒吗？惟愿耶和华的百姓都是先知，愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上！”

你们要追求爱，也要切慕属灵的恩赐，尤其是作先知讲道。

神在教会所设立的：第一是使徒；第二是先知；第三是教师；其次是行异能的；再次是医病的恩赐，帮助人的，治理事的，说方言的。难道个个都是使徒吗？难道个个都是先知吗？难道个个都是教师吗？难道个个都是行异能的吗？难道个个都是有医病的恩赐吗？难道个个都是说方言的吗？难道个个都是翻方言的吗？

但作先知讲道的，是对人说，要造就、安慰、劝勉人。说方言的，是造就自己；作先知讲道的，是造就教会。
