PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 ¡Que el amor sea siempre para ustedes la más alta meta! Desde luego, busquen también los otros dones que da el Espíritu Santo, especialmente el don de profecía.
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1 Διώκετε τὴν ἀγάπην· ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ πνευματικά, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε.
2 El que habla en lenguas, le habla a Dios y no a los demás, y ellos no le entienden, pues habla misterios mediante el poder del Espíritu.
2 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.
2 ὁ γὰρ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀκούει, πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια·
3 En cambio, el que profetiza proclama mensajes de Dios que edifican, exhortan y consuelan a los oyentes.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
3 ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ οἰκοδομὴν καὶ παράκλησιν καὶ παραμυθίαν.
4 Por eso, la persona que habla en lenguas se ayuda a sí misma, pero el que profetiza contribuye a que la iglesia crezca.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
4 ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ, ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ.
5 Ojalá todos pudieran hablar en lenguas, pero preferiría que profetizaran, porque este es un don superior al hablar en lenguas, a menos que después de hablar interpreten lo que estaban diciendo para que la iglesia sea edificada.
5 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.
5 θέλω δὲ πάντας ὑμᾶς λαλεῖν γλώσσαις, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε· μείζων γὰρ ὁ προφητεύων ἢ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσαις, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ διερμηνεύει, ἵνα ἡ ἐκκλησία οἰκοδομὴν λάβῃ.
6 Díganme ustedes, hermanos, si voy ahora y les hablo en lenguas, ¿de qué les sirve? Pero si les digo con claridad lo que Dios me ha revelado, si les comunico lo que sé, si les profetizo o les enseño, entonces sí les será útil.
6 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?
6 νυνὶ δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς γλώσσαις λαλῶν, τί ὑμᾶς ὠφελήσω, ἐὰν μὴ ὑμῖν λαλήσω ἢ ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἢ ἐν γνώσει ἢ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἢ ἐν διδαχῇ;
7 Aun respecto de los instrumentos musicales —la flauta o el arpa, digamos—, ¿cómo se distinguirá lo que tocan si no dan un sonido distinto?
7 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?
7 ὅμως τὰ ἄψυχα φωνὴν διδόντα, εἴτε αὐλὸς εἴτε κιθάρα, ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ διδῷ, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ αὐλούμενον ἢ τὸ κιθαριζόμενον;
8 Y si el trompeta del ejército no toca las notas que debe, ¿cómo sabrán los soldados que se les está ordenando prepararse para la batalla?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
8 καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἄδηλον φωνὴν σάλπιγξ δῷ, τίς παρασκευάσεται εἰς πόλεμον;
9 De la misma manera, si uno le habla a una persona en un idioma que no entiende, ¿cómo sabrá lo que se le está diciendo? Sería como hablarle al aire.
9 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.
9 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς διὰ τῆς γλώσσης ἐὰν μὴ εὔσημον λόγον δῶτε, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον; ἔσεσθε γὰρ εἰς ἀέρα λαλοῦντες.
10 En el mundo existen cientos de idiomas diferentes y cada uno tiene su propio significado.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
10 τοσαῦτα εἰ τύχοι γένη φωνῶν ἐστιν ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῶν ἄφωνον·
11 Sin embargo, si alguien me habla en uno de esos idiomas y no lo entiendo, yo seré extranjero para él y él lo será para mí.
11 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.
11 ἐὰν οὖν μὴ εἰδῶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς φωνῆς, ἔσομαι τῷ λαλοῦντι βάρβαρος καὶ ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ βάρβαρος.
12 Si tanto anhelan tener alguno de los dones del Espíritu Santo, pídanle que les dé los mejores, los que de veras puedan ser útiles a la iglesia en general.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
12 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων, πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε.
13 Si alguien recibe el don de hablar en lenguas, ore para que el Señor le dé también el don de interpretar,
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
13 Διόπερ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ προσευχέσθω ἵνα διερμηνεύῃ.
14 porque si uno ora en lenguas, el espíritu ora, pero uno no sabe lo que está diciendo.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14 ἐὰν γὰρ προσεύχωμαι γλώσσῃ, τὸ πνεῦμά μου προσεύχεται, ὁ δὲ νοῦς μου ἄκαρπός ἐστι.
15 En un caso así, ¿qué debo hacer? Debo orar con el espíritu, pero también con el entendimiento. Debo cantar con el espíritu siempre que se entienda la alabanza que estoy ofreciendo,
15 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.
15 τί οὖν ἐστι; προσεύξομαι τῷ πνεύματι, προσεύξομαι δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ· ψαλῶ τῷ πνεύματι, ψαλῶ δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ.
16 porque si alabas y das gracias a Dios en otro idioma, ¿cómo podrán alabar a Dios contigo los que no entienden tus palabras? ¿Cómo podrán decir «amén», si no saben lo que estás diciendo?
16 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?
16 ἐπεὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃς τῷ πνεύματι, ὁ ἀναπληρῶν τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἰδιώτου πῶς ἐρεῖ τὸ ἀμὴν ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εὐχαριστίᾳ; ἐπειδὴ τί λέγεις οὐκ οἶδε·
17 Tu oración de acción de gracias podrá ser hermosa, pero no edificará a los presentes.
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
17 σὺ μὲν γὰρ καλῶς εὐχαριστεῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἕτερος οὐκ οἰκοδομεῖται.
18 Gracias a Dios, puedo hablar en lenguas más que cualquiera de ustedes.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
18 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντων ὑμῶν μᾶλλον γλώσσαις λαλῶν·
19 Sin embargo, cuando adoro en público prefiero hablar cinco palabras que la gente pueda entender, y que puedan instruirle, que diez mil palabras en lengua desconocida.
19 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.
19 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ θέλω πέντε λόγους διὰ τοῦ νοός μου λαλῆσαι, ἵνα καὶ ἄλλους κατηχήσω, ἢ μυρίους λόγους ἐν γλώσσῃ.
20 Amados hermanos, no sean niños en cuanto a la comprensión de estas cosas. Sean niños en lo que a malicia se refiere, pero maduros en asuntos como estos.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
20 Ἀδελφοί, μὴ παιδία γίνεσθε ταῖς φρεσίν, ἀλλὰ τῇ κακίᾳ νηπιάζετε, ταῖς δὲ φρεσὶ τέλειοι γίνεσθε.
21 Dicen las Escrituras que Dios enviaría hombres de otras tierras a hablar en un idioma extraño a su pueblo, pero que ni aun así oirían.
21 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.”
21 ἐν τῷ νόμῳ γέγραπται ὅτι ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις καὶ ἐν χείλεσιν ἑτέροις λαλήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, καὶ οὐδ᾽ οὕτως εἰσακούσονταί μου λέγει Κύριος.
22 Como ven, hablar en lenguas no beneficia a los creyentes, aunque sirva para captar el interés de los incrédulos. En cambio, los cristianos necesitan la profecía, aunque para los incrédulos no signifique mucho.
22 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.
22 ὥστε αἱ γλῶσσαι εἰς σημεῖόν εἰσιν οὐ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν, ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, ἡ δὲ προφητεία οὐ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, ἀλλὰ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν.
23 Aun así, si un incrédulo, o alguien que no conoce estos dones, llega a la iglesia y les oye hablar a todos en lenguas, lo más probable es que piense que están locos.
23 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?
23 Ἐὰν οὖν συνέλθῃ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὅλη ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλῶσιν, εἰσέλθωσι δὲ ἰδιῶται ἢ ἄπιστοι, οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ὅτι μαίνεσθε;
24 Pero si todos profetizan y un incrédulo o uno que no entiende de estas cosas entra, se sentirá reprendido y juzgado por todos;
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
24 ἐὰν δὲ πάντες προφητεύωσιν, εἰσέλθῃ δέ τις ἄπιστος ἢ ἰδιώτης, ἐλέγχεται ὑπὸ πάντων, ἀνακρίνεται ὑπὸ πάντων,
25 sus más íntimos pensamientos saldrán a la luz, se postrará de rodillas a adorar a Dios y reconocerá que Dios de veras está entre ustedes.
25 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.
25 καὶ οὕτω τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ φανερὰ γίνεται· καὶ οὕτω πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον προσκυνήσει τῷ Θεῷ, ἀπαγγέλλων ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ὄντως ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστι.
26 Bien, hermanos míos, resumamos. Cuando se reúnan, unos canten, otros enseñen o comuniquen lo que Dios les haya revelado o hablen en lenguas extrañas o interpreten lo que los otros dijeron en lenguas; pero que todo sirva para la edificación de la iglesia.
26 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.
26 Τί οὖν ἐστιν, ἀδελφοί; ὅταν συνέρχησθε, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ψαλμὸν ἔχει, διδαχὴν ἔχει, γλῶσσαν ἔχει, ἀποκάλυψιν ἔχει, ἑρμηνείαν ἔχει· πάντα πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν γινέσθω.
27 Dos personas, o cuando más tres son las que deben hablar en lenguas. Deben hacerlo por turno, y alguien debe estar listo para interpretar lo que se esté diciendo.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
27 εἴτε γλώσσῃ τις λαλεῖ, κατὰ δύο ἢ τὸ πλεῖστον τρεῖς, καὶ ἀνὰ μέρος, καὶ εἷς διερμηνευέτω·
28 Si no hay intérprete, no deben hablar en lenguas en público; hablen para sí mismos y para Dios.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
28 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ διερμηνευτής, σιγάτω ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἑαυτῷ δὲ λαλείτω καὶ τῷ Θεῷ.
29 Dos o tres pueden profetizar, y que los demás examinen con cuidado lo dicho.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
29 προφῆται δὲ δύο ἢ τρεῖς λαλείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι διακρινέτωσαν·
30 Si mientras uno está profetizando otro recibe un mensaje del Señor, el que está hablando debe dejar hablar al otro.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
30 ἐὰν δὲ ἄλλῳ ἀποκαλυφθῇ καθημένῳ, ὁ πρῶτος σιγάτω.
31 De esta manera los que tienen el don de profetizar podrán hablar uno tras otro, mientras los demás aprenden y se animan.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
31 δύνασθε γὰρ καθ᾽ ἕνα πάντες προφητεύειν, ἵνα πάντες μανθάνωσι καὶ πάντες παρακαλῶνται·
32 El don de la profecía está bajo el control de los profetas.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
32 καὶ πνεύματα προφητῶν προφήταις ὑποτάσσεται·
33 A Dios no le agradan los desórdenes; le gusta la armonía, como la que reina en las demás iglesias.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
33 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀκαταστασίας ὁ Θεός, ἀλλὰ εἰρήνης.
34 Las mujeres deben guardar silencio en las iglesias, pues no les está permitido hablar. Deben estar sumisas, como lo declaran las Escrituras.
34 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,
34 Ὡς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῶν ἁγίων, αἱ γυναῖκες ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις σιγάτωσαν· οὐ γὰρ ἐπιτέτραπται αὐταῖς λαλεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὑποτάσσεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ὁ νόμος λέγει.
35 Si desean preguntar algo, pregúntenselo al esposo cuando lleguen a la casa, porque no es correcto que las mujeres hablen en la iglesia.
35 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.”
35 εἰ δέ τι μαθεῖν θέλουσιν, ἐν οἴκῳ τοὺς ἰδίους ἄνδρας ἐπερωτάτωσαν· αἰσχρὸν γάρ ἐστι γυναιξὶν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ λαλεῖν.
36 Recuerden que la palabra de Dios no salió de ustedes ni sólo a ustedes ha llegado.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
36 ἢ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν, ἢ εἰς ὑμᾶς μόνους κατήντησεν;
37 Si alguno de ustedes tiene el don de profecía o cualquier otro don del Espíritu Santo, sabrá mejor que nadie que lo que estoy diciendo es mandamiento de Dios.
37 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.
37 Εἴ τις δοκεῖ προφήτης εἶναι ἢ πνευματικός, ἐπιγινωσκέτω ἃ γράφω ὑμῖν, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσὶν ἐντολαί·
38 Si alguno no está de acuerdo, ustedes no lo reconozcan a él.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38 εἰ δέ τις ἀγνοεῖ, ἀγνοείτω.
39 Así que, hermanos míos, procuren profetizar y no le prohíban a nadie hablar en lenguas.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
39 Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί, ζηλοῦτε τὸ προφητεύειν, καὶ τὸ λαλεῖν γλώσσαις μὴ κωλύετε·
40 Pero háganlo todo de manera correcta y ordenada.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
40 πάντα εὐσχημόνως καὶ κατὰ τάξιν γινέσθω.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Thus, inasmuch as he had with exactness rehearsed unto them all the excellence of love, he exhorts them in what follows, with alacrity to lay hold of it.
