   ⁴Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

   ⁵And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

   ⁶And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

   ⁷But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

   ⁸For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

   ⁹To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

   ¹⁰To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

   ¹¹But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

   ¹FOLLOW after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

   ²For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

   ³But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

   ⁴He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

   ⁵I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

   ⁶Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

   ⁷And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

   ⁸For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

   ⁹So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

   ¹⁰There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

   ¹¹Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

   ¹²Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

   ¹³Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

   ¹⁴For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

   ¹⁵What is it then? 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.

   ¹⁶Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

   ¹⁷For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

   ¹⁸I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
