Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly for to prophesye.
1 SEGUID la caridad; y procurad los [dones] espirituales, mas sobre todo que profeticéis.
2 For he that speaketh with toges speaketh not vnto men but vnto god for no man heareth him how be it in the sprete he speaketh misteries.
2 Porque el que habla en lenguas, no habla á los hombres, sino á Dios; porque nadie le entiende, aunque en espíritu hable misterios.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.
3 Mas el que profetiza, habla á los hombres [para] edificación, y exhortación, y consolación.
4 He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.
4 El que habla lengua extraña, á sí mismo se edifica; mas el que profetiza, edifica á la iglesia.
5 I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he that speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.
5 Así que, quisiera que todos vosotros hablaseis lenguas, empero más que profetizaseis: porque mayor es el que profetiza que el que habla lenguas, si también no interpretare, para que la iglesia tome edificación.
6 Now brehren if I come vnto you speakige with tonges: what shall I profit you excepte I speake vnto you other by revelacion or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine.
6 Ahora pues, hermanos, si yo fuere á vosotros hablando lenguas, ¿qué os aprovecharé, si no os hablare, ó con revelación, ó con ciencia, ó con profecía, ó con doctrina?
7 Moreover when thinges with out lyfe geve sounde: whether it be a pype or an harpe: except they make a distinccion in the soundes: how shall it be knowen what is pyped or harped?
7 Ciertamente las cosas inanimadas que hacen sonidos, como la flauta ó la vihuela, si no dieren distinción de voces, ¿cómo se sabrá lo que se tañe con la flauta, ó con la vihuela?
8 And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?
8 Y si la trompeta diere sonido incierto, ¿quién se apercibirá á la batalla?
9 Even so lykwyse when ye speake with toges excepte ye speake wordes that have signification how shall that be vnderstonde what is spoke? For ye shall but speake in the ayer.
9 Así también vosotros, si por la lengua no diereis palabra bien significante, ¿cómo se entenderá lo que se dice? porque hablaréis al aire.
10 Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.
10 Tantos géneros de voces, por ejemplo, hay en el mundo, y nada hay mudo;
11 If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth I shalbe vnto him that speaketh an alient: and and he that speaketh shalbe an alient vnto me
11 Mas si yo ignorare el valor de la voz, seré bárbaro al que habla, y el que habla será bárbaro para mí.
12 Even so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto the edifyinge of the congregacion.
12 Así también vosotros; pues que anheláis espirituales [dones], procurad ser excelentes para la edificación de la iglesia.
13 Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.
13 Por lo cual, el que habla lengua [extraña], pida que [la] interprete.
14 If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.
14 Porque si yo orare en lengua [desconocida], mi espíritu ora; mas mi entendimiento es sin fruto.
15 What is it then? I will praye with the sprete ad will praye with the mynde also. I will singe with the sprete and will singe with the mynde also.
15 ¿Qué pues? Oraré con el espíritu, mas oraré también con entendimiento; cantaré con el espíritu, mas cantaré también con entendimiento.
16 For els when thou blessest with the sprete how shall he that occupieth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at thy gevinge of thankes seynge he vnderstondeth not what thou sayest.
16 Porque si bendijeres con el espíritu, el que ocupa lugar de un mero particular, ¿cómo dirá amén á tu acción de gracias? pues no sabe lo que has dicho.
17 Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.
17 Porque tú, á la verdad, bien haces gracias; mas el otro no es edificado.
18 I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.
18 Doy gracias á Dios que hablo lenguas más que todos vosotros:
19 Yet had I lever in the congregacion to speake five wordes with my mynde to the informacio of other rather then ten thousande wordes with the tonge.
19 Pero en la iglesia más quiero hablar cinco palabras con mi sentido, para que enseñe también á los otros, que diez mil palabras en lengua [desconocida].
20 Brethren be not chyldre in witte. How be it as concerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.
20 Hermanos, no seáis niños en el sentido, sino sed niños en la malicia: empero perfectos en el sentido.
21 In the lawe it is written with other toges and with other lyppes wyll I speake vnto this people and yet for all that will they not heare me sayth the Lorde.
21 En la ley está escrito: En otras lenguas y en otros labios hablaré á este pueblo; y ni aun así me oirán, dice el Señor.
22 Wherfore tonges are for a signe not to them that beleve: but to them that beleve not. Contrary wyse prophesyinge serveth not for them that beleve not: but for them which beleve.
22 Así que, las lenguas por señal son, no á los fieles, sino á los infieles: mas la profecía, no á los infieles, sino á los fieles.
23 Yf therfore when all the congregacion is come to gedder and all speake with tonges ther come in they that are vnlearned or they which beleve not: will they not saye that ye are out of youre wittes?
23 De manera que, si toda la iglesia se juntare en uno, y todos hablan lenguas, y entran indoctos ó infieles, ¿no dirán que estáis locos?
24 But and yf all prophesy and ther come in one that beleveth not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of every man:
24 Mas si todos profetizan, y entra algún infiel ó indocto, de todos es convencido, de todos es juzgado;
25 and so are the secretes of his hert opened and so falleth he doune on his face and worshippeth God and sayth that God is with you in dede.
25 Lo oculto de su corazón se hace manifiesto: y así, postrándose sobre el rostro, adorará á Dios, declarando que verdaderamente Dios está en vosotros.
26 How is it then brethren? When ye come to gedder every man hath his songe hath his doctryne hath his tonge hath his revelacion hath his interpretacion. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge.
26 ¿Qué hay pues, hermanos? Cuando os juntáis, cada uno de vosotros tiene salmo, tiene doctrina, tiene lengua, tiene revelación, tiene interpretación: hágase todo para edificación.
27 If eny man speake with tonges let it be two at once or at the most thre at once and that by course: and let another interprete it.
27 Si hablare alguno en lengua [extraña], [sea esto] por dos, ó á lo más tres, y por turno; mas uno interprete.
28 But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the congregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
28 Y si no hubiere intérprete, calle en la iglesia, y hable á sí mismo y á Dios.
29 Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.
29 Asimismo, los profetas hablen dos ó tres, y los demás juzguen.
30 Yf eny revelacion be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.
30 Y si á otro que estuviere sentado, fuere revelado, calle el primero.
31 For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.
31 Porque podéis todos profetizar uno por uno, para que todos aprendan, y todos sean exhortados.
32 For the spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
32 Y los espíritus de los que profetizaren, sujétense á los profetas;
33 For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.
33 Porque Dios no es Dios de disensión, sino de paz; como en todas las iglesias de los santos.
34 Let youre wyves kepe silence in the congregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but let them be vnder obedience as sayth the lawe.
34 Vuestras mujeres callen en las congregaciones; porque no les es permitido hablar, sino que estén sujetas, como también la ley dice.
35 If they will learne enythinge let the axe their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen to speake in the congregacion.
35 Y si quieren aprender alguna cosa, pregunten en casa á sus maridos; porque deshonesta cosa es hablar una mujer en la congregación.
36 Spronge the worde of god from you? Ether came it vnto you only?
36 Qué, ¿ha salido de vosotros la palabra de Dios? ¿ó á vosotros solos ha llegado?
37 Yf eny man thinke him sylfe a prophet ether spirituall: let him vnderstonde what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the comaundementes of the Lorde.
37 Si alguno á su parecer, es profeta, ó espiritual, reconozca lo que os escribo, porque son mandamientos del Señor.
38 But and yf eny man be ignorant let him be ignorant.
38 Mas el que ignora, ignore.
39 Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.
39 Así que, hermanos, procurad profetizar; y no impidáis el hablar lenguas.
40 And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
40 Empero hágase todo decentemente y con orden.

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.

For the clouds which are the Prophets were removed from them, and are for the future in the Church; as Paul says, Let the Prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge; and again, God gave in the Church, some, Apostles, and some, Prophets.
