- 14:8 And if a trumpet sounds a signal no one can make out, who will prepare to fight? 6
- 14:40 But let everything be done properly and in good order. 5
- 14:1 Strive for love, and set your hearts on spiritual gifts, most of all on prophesying. 4
- 14:15 What follows, then? I will pray in the spirit, and I will pray with my mind as well. I will sing praise in the spirit, and I will sing praise with my mind as well. 3
- 14:20 Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. Be babies where evil is concerned, but in your understanding be grown up. 3
- 14:33 God is the God of peace, not of disorder, as is true in all the churches of God's holy people. 3
- 14:4 Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the church. 2
- 14:26 What follows, then, brothers and sisters? Whenever you gather, each of you has something: a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Everything should be done to build up the church. 2
- 14:34 In the churches the women are to keep silent. They are not permitted to speak; instead they are to be subject, as the law also says. 2
- 14:3 But someone who prophesies speaks to people, and the words build them up, encourage them and comfort them. 1
- 14:5 I would be glad for all of you to speak in tongues, but gladder still for you to prophesy. Those who prophesy are greater than those who speak in tongues, unless they also interpret, so that the church receives something that builds it up. 1
- 14:7 Think of instruments, lifeless as they are, that give out a sound, like the flute or the harp. If their notes are not distinct, how can anyone tell what is being played on the flute or the harp? 1
- 14:24 But if everyone is prophesying, and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, they are convicted by what all are saying and examined by what all are saying. 1
- 14:27 As for speaking in a tongue, let it be done by two people, or by three at the most, each taking a turn, and let one person interpret. 1
- 14:28 If there is no one to interpret, the speaker should keep silent in the church, speaking only to themselves and to God. 1
- 14:29 As for prophets, let two or three speak, and let the others weigh their words. 1
- 14:30 And if something is revealed to another person who is sitting there, the first speaker should keep silent. 1
- 14:31 You can all prophesy, each in turn, so that all of you learn and all of you are encouraged. 1
