1 Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy.
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
2 For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.
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.
3 But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
4 Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification.
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.
6 But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
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?
7 Even those things that are without a soul can make sounds, whether it is a wind or a stringed instrument. But unless they present a distinction within the sounds, how will it be known which is from the pipe and which is from the string?
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?
8 For example, if the trumpet made an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for battle?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 So it is with you also, for unless you utter with the tongue in plain speech, how will it be known what is said? For then you would be speaking into the air.
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.
10 Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
11 Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me.
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.
12 So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
13 For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind.
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.
16 Otherwise, if you have blessed only with the spirit, how can someone, in a state of ignorance, add an “Amen” to your blessing? For he does not know what you are saying.
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?
17 In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 I thank my God that I speak in tongues for all of you.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
19 But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.
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.
20 Brothers, do not choose to have the minds of children. Instead, be free of malice like infants, but be mature in your minds.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 It is written in the law: “I will speak to this people with other tongues and other lips, and even so, they will not heed me, says the Lord.”
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.”
22 And so, tongues are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; and prophecies are not for unbelievers, but for believers.
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.
23 If then, the entire Church were to gather together as one, and if all were to speak in tongues, and then ignorant or unbelieving persons were to enter, would they not say that you were insane?
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?
24 But if everyone prophesies, and one who is ignorant or unbelieving enters, he may be convinced by it all, because he understands it all.
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 The secrets of his heart are then made manifest. And so, falling to his face, he would adore God, proclaiming that God is truly among you.
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.
26 What is next, brothers? When you gather together, each one of you may have a psalm, or a doctrine, or a revelation, or a language, or an interpretation, but let everything be done for edification.
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.
27 If anyone is speaking in tongues, let there be only two, or at most three, and then in turn, and let someone interpret.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
28 But if there is no one to interpret, he should remain silent in the church, then he may speak when he is alone with God.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
30 But then, if something is revealed to another who is sitting, let the first one become silent.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 For you are all able to prophesy one at a time, so that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
32 For the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 And God is not of dissension, but of peace, just as I also teach in all the churches of the saints.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
34 Women should be silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak; but instead, they should be subordinate, as the law also says.
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,
35 And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
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.”
36 So now, did the Word of God proceed from you? Or was it sent to you alone?
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 If anyone seems to be a prophet or a spiritual person, he should understand these things which I am writing to you, that these things are the commandments of the Lord.
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.
38 If anyone does not recognize these things, he should not be recognized.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 And so, brothers, be zealous to prophesy, and do not prohibit speaking in tongues.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
40 But let everything be done respectfully and according to proper order.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.
