要追求愛，切慕屬靈的恩賜

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：是說預言；下同）。Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

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，他在心靈裡卻是講說各樣的奧祕。For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

³但作先知講道的，是對人說，要造就、安慰、勸勉人。But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁴說方言的，是造就自己；作先知講道的，乃是造就教會。The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

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，若不翻出來，使教會被造就，那作先知講道的，就比他強了。I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

聽不懂的話沒有益處

⁶弟兄們，我到你們那裡去，若只說方言，不用啟示，或知識，或預言，或教訓，給你們講解，我與你們有甚麼益處呢？Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

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？Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?

⁸若吹無定的號聲，誰能預備打仗呢？Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?

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。So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

¹⁰世上的聲音，或者甚多，卻沒有一樣是無意思的。Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

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。If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

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。It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

用靈禱告，也用悟性禱告

¹³所以那說方言的，就當求著能翻出來。Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

¹⁴我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

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。What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

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？Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

¹⁷你感謝的固然是好，無奈不能造就別人。You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.

¹⁸我感謝　神，我說方言比你們眾人還多。I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

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。But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

在心志上要作大人

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。Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

²¹律法上記著：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。It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

不信的人進來的時候

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。Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

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，豈不說你們癲狂了嗎？So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

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，But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,

²⁵他心裡的隱情顯露出來，就必將臉伏地，敬拜　神，說：「　神真是在你們中間了。」and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
