All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 1 Corinthians 13:4 | Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy. Love does not brag, it is not arrogant, |
| 1 Corinthians 13:5 | it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of (to | τό | acc sg neut) wrongs, |
| 1 Corinthians 13:6 | it takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) truth. |
| 1 Corinthians 13:8 | Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside. |
| 1 Corinthians 13:10 | but when what (to | τό | nom sg neut) is complete comes, the (to | τό | nom sg neut) partial will be set aside. |
| 1 Corinthians 13:11 | When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways (ta | τά | acc pl neut). |
| 1 Corinthians 13:13 | And now remain faith, hope, and love; these three. And the greatest of these is love. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:1 | Pursue love, and earnestly desire the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:2 | For the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one speaking in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; indeed, no one understands him, yet he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:3 | On the other hand, the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who prophesies speaks to people for their edification, encouragement, and consolation. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:4 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who prophesies edifies the church. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:5 | Now I would like all of you to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who prophesies is greater than the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) church may receive edification. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:7 | It is the same with lifeless things that produce sound, whether flute or harp; if they do not make a difference between (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) notes, how will what (to | τό | nom sg neut) is being played on the flute or the (to | τό | nom sg neut) harp be understood? |
| 1 Corinthians 14:9 | So it is with you; if you do not speak a clear message with your (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) tongue, how will anyone know what (to | τό | nom sg neut) is being said? You will be speaking into the air. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:11 | But if I do not grasp the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) meaning of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) language, I will be a foreigner to the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) speaker and the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) speaker a foreigner to me. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:12 | So it is with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to excel for the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) edification of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) church. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:13 | For this reason, the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he will be able to interpret. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:15 | What then shall I do? I will pray with my (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) spirit, but I will also pray with my (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) understanding. I will sing praises with my (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) spirit, but I will also sing praises with my (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) understanding. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:16 | Otherwise, if you are praising God by the Spirit, how can anyone (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) in the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) position of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) an outsider say, “Amen,” to your thanksgiving since he does not know what you are saying? |
| 1 Corinthians 14:17 | For you are giving thanks well enough, but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) other person is not being edified. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:18 | I thank God I speak in tongues more than all of you; |
| 1 Corinthians 14:19 | however, in church I would rather speak five words with (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) my understanding, so as to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:20 | Brothers, do not be children in your (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) thinking. Rather, in (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) evil be infants but in your (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) thinking be adults. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:21 | In the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) Law it is written, “By people with strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me, says the Lord.” |
