Interlinear Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:1-19

1 Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless * he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

10 There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

13 Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

16 Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen " at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
