14:1
Sectamini caritatem, aemulamini spiritualia : magis autem ut prophetetis.
Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
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 。
14:2
Qui enim loquitur lingua, non hominibus loquitur, sed Deo : nemo enim audit. Spiritu autem loquitur mysteria.
For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
那說方言的，原不是對人說，乃是對上帝說，因為沒有人聽出來。然而，他在心靈裏卻是講說各樣的奧祕。
14:3
Nam qui prophetat, hominibus loquitur ad aedificationem, et exhortationem, et consolationem.
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
但作先知講道的，是對人說，要造就、安慰、勸勉人。
14:4
Qui loquitur lingua, semetipsum aedificat : qui autem prophetat, ecclesiam Dei aedificat.
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
說方言的，是造就自己；作先知講道的，乃是造就教會。
14:5
Volo autem omnes vos loqui linguis : magis autem prophetare. Nam major est qui prophetat, quam qui loquitur linguis ; nisi forte interpretetur ut ecclesia aedificationem accipiat.
Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more 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.
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。
14:6
Nunc autem, fratres, si venero ad vos linguis loquens : quid vobis prodero, nisi vobis loquar aut in revelatione, aut in scientia, aut in prophetia, aut in doctrina ?
But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
弟兄們，我到你們那裏去，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？
14:7
Tamen quae sine anima sunt vocem dantia, sive tibia, sive cithara ; nisi distinctionem sonituum dederint, quomodo scietur id quod canitur, aut quod citharizatur ?
Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
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？
14:8
Etenim si incertam vocem det tuba, quis parabit se ad bellum ?
For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
若吹無定的號聲，誰能預備打仗呢？
14:9
Ita et vos per linguam nisi manifestum sermonem dederitis : quomodo scietur id quod dicitur ? eritis enim in aëra loquentes.
So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
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。
14:10
Tam multa, ut puta genera linguarum sunt in hoc mundo : et nihil sine voce est.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
世上的聲音，或者甚多，卻沒有一樣是無意思的。
14:11
Si ergo nesciero virtutem vocis, ero ei, cui loquor, barbarus : et qui loquitur, mihi barbarus.
If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
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。
14:12
Sic et vos, quoniam aemulatores estis spirituum, ad aedificationem ecclesiae quaerite ut abundetis.
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
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。
14:13
Et ideo qui loquitur lingua, oret ut interpretetur.
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
所以那說方言的，就當求着能翻出來。
14:14
Nam si orem lingua, spiritus meus orat, mens autem mea sine fructu est.
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。
14:15
Quid ergo est ? Orabo spiritu, orabo et mente : psallam spiritu, psallam et mente.
What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
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。
14:16
Ceterum si benedixeris spiritu, qui supplet locum idiotae, quomodo dicet : Amen, super tuam benedictionem ? quoniam quid dicas, nescit.
Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
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？
14:17
Nam tu quidem bene gratias agis, sed alter non aedificatur.
For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
你感謝的固然是好，無奈不能造就別人。
14:18
Gratias ago Deo meo, quod omnium vestrum lingua loquor.
I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
我感謝上帝，我說方言比你們眾人還多。
14:19
Sed in ecclesia volo quinque verba sensu meo loqui, ut et alios instruam : quam decem millia verborum in lingua.
However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
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。
14:20
Fratres, nolite pueri effici sensibus, sed malitia parvuli estote : sensibus autem perfecti estote.
Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
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。
14:21
In lege scriptum est : Quoniam in aliis linguis et labiis aliis loquar populo huic : et nec sic exaudient me, dicit Dominus.
In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
律法上記着： 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。
14:22
Itaque linguae in signum sunt non fidelibus, sed infidelibus : prophetiae autem non infidelibus, sed fidelibus.
Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
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。
14:23
Si ergo conveniat universa ecclesia in unum, et omnes linguis loquantur, intrent autem idiotae, aut infideles : nonne dicent quod insanitis ?
If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
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？
14:24
Si autem omnes prophetent, intret autem quis infidelis, vel idiota, convincitur ab omnibus, dijudicatur ab omnibus :
But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
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，
14:25
occulta cordis ejus manifesta fiunt : et ita cadens in faciem adorabit Deum, pronuntians quod vere Deus in vobis sit.
And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
他心裏的隱情顯露出來，就必將臉伏地，敬拜上帝，說：「上帝真是在你們中間了。」
14:26
Quid ergo est, fratres ? Cum convenitis, unusquisque vestrum psalmum habet, doctrinam habet, apocalypsim habet, linguam habet, interpretationem habet : omnia ad aedificationem fiant.
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
弟兄們，這卻怎麼樣呢？你們聚會的時候，各人或有詩歌，或有教訓，或有啟示，或有方言，或有翻出來的話，凡事都當造就人。
14:27
Sive lingua quis loquitur, secundum duos, aut ut multum tres, et per partes, et unus interpretatur.
If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
若有說方言的，只好兩個人，至多三個人，且要輪流着說，也要一個人翻出來。
14:28
Si autem non fuerit interpres, taceat in ecclesia : sibi autem loquatur, et Deo.
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
若沒有人翻，就當在會中閉口，只對自己和上帝說就是了。
14:29
Prophetae autem duo, aut tres dicant, et ceteri dijudicent.
Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
至於作先知講道的，只好兩個人或是三個人，其餘的就當慎思明辨。
14:30
Quod si alii revelatum fuerit sedenti, prior taceat.
But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
若旁邊坐着的得了啟示，那先說話的就當閉口不言。
14:31
Potestis enim omnes per singulos prophetare : ut omnes discant, et omnes exhortentur :
For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
因為你們都可以一個一個地作先知講道，叫眾人學道理，叫眾人得勸勉。
14:32
et spiritus prophetarum prophetis subjecti sunt.
The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
先知的靈原是順服先知的；
14:33
Non enim est dissensionis Deus, sed pacis : sicut et in omnibus ecclesiis sanctorum doceo.
for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
因為上帝不是叫人混亂，乃是叫人安靜。
14:34
Mulieres in ecclesiis taceant, non enim permittitur eis loqui, sed subditas esse, sicut et lex dicit.
Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
婦女在會中要閉口不言，像在聖徒的眾教會一樣，因為不准她們說話。她們總要順服，正如律法所說的。
14:35
Si quid autem volunt discere, domi viros suos interrogent. Turpe est enim mulieri loqui in ecclesia.
if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
她們若要學甚麼，可以在家裏問自己的丈夫，因為婦女在會中說話原是可恥的。
14:36
An a vobis verbum Dei processit ? aut in vos solos pervenit ?
What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
上帝的道理豈是從你們出來嗎？豈是單臨到你們嗎？
14:37
Si quis videtur propheta esse, aut spiritualis, cognoscat quae scribo vobis, quia Domini sunt mandata.
If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
若有人以為自己是先知，或是屬靈的，就該知道，我所寫給你們的是主的命令。
14:38
Si quis autem ignorat, ignorabitur.
But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
若有不知道的，就由他不知道吧！
14:39
Itaque fratres aemulamini prophetare : et loqui linguis nolite prohibere.
Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
所以我弟兄們，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。
14:40
Omnia autem honeste, et secundum ordinem fiant.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
凡事都要規規矩矩地按着次序行。
