WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Make love your most important objective! But also do your best to gain spiritual gifts, especially the ability to speak God's message.
1 SEGUID la caridad; y procurad los [dones] espirituales, mas sobre todo que profeticéis.
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
2 Those who speak in a tongue are not talking to people, but to God, because nobody can understand them as they speak mysteries in the Spirit.
2 Porque el que habla en lenguas, no habla á los hombres, sino á Dios; porque nadie le entiende, aunque en espíritu hable misterios.
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 However, the words of those who speak for God build people up—they provide encouragement and comfort.
3 Mas el que profetiza, habla á los hombres [para] edificación, y exhortación, y consolación.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
4 Those that speak in a tongue only build themselves up, but those who speak God's message build up the church. I would like it if you all spoke in tongues, but I'd prefer if you could speak God's message.
4 El que habla lengua extraña, á sí mismo se edifica; mas el que profetiza, edifica á la iglesia.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
5 Those who speak for God are more important than those who speak in tongues, unless they interpret what's been said, so that the church can be built up.
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.
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 Brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what benefit would I be to you unless I bring you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophetic message, or teaching?
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?
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 when it comes to something non-living such as musical instruments like a flute or a harp—if they don't produce clear notes, how will you know what tune is being played?
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?
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 Similarly, if the trumpet doesn't give a clear sound, who will get ready for battle?
8 Y si la trompeta diere sonido incierto, ¿quién se apercibirá á la batalla?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 It's the same situation for you—unless you speak using words that are easy to understand, who will know what you're saying? What you say will be lost on the wind.
9 Así también vosotros, si por la lengua no diereis palabra bien significante, ¿cómo se entenderá lo que se dice? porque hablaréis 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.
10 There are surely many languages in this world, and there is meaning in every one of them.
10 Tantos géneros de voces, por ejemplo, hay en el mundo, y nada hay mudo;
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
11 If I don't understand the language, those who speak make no sense to me, and I make no sense to them.
11 Mas si yo ignorare el valor de la voz, seré bárbaro al que habla, y el que habla será bárbaro 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.
12 It's the same for you—if you are keen to have spiritual gifts, try to have many of those that will build up the church.
12 Así también vosotros; pues que anheláis espirituales [dones], procurad ser excelentes para la edificación de la iglesia.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
13 Anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that they're able to translate what they say.
13 Por lo cual, el que habla lengua [extraña], pida que [la] interprete.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray out loud in a tongue, my spirit is praying, but it does nothing for my understanding!
14 Porque si yo orare en lengua [desconocida], mi espíritu ora; mas mi entendimiento es sin fruto.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 So then, what should I do? I will pray “in the Spirit,” but I will pray with my mind too. I will sing “in the Spirit,” but I will sing with my mind too.
15 ¿Qué pues? Oraré con el espíritu, mas oraré también con entendimiento; cantaré con el espíritu, mas cantaré también con entendimiento.
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 For if you only pray “in the Spirit,” how can ordinary people that don't have understanding say “Amen” after your prayer of thanks, since they haven't a clue what you said?
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.
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 You might have said a great prayer of thanks, but the other hasn't been helped!
17 Porque tú, á la verdad, bien haces gracias; mas el otro no es edificado.
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 I thank God that I can speak in tongues more than all of you.
18 Doy gracias á Dios que hablo lenguas más que todos vosotros:
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
19 But in church I would rather speak five understandable words to teach others than ten thousand words in a tongue nobody understands.
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].
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 and sisters, don't think like children. Be as innocent as babies in regard to evil, but be grown up in your understanding.
20 Hermanos, no seáis niños en el sentido, sino sed niños en la malicia: empero perfectos en el sentido.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 As Scripture records, “‘I will speak to my people through other languages and the lips of foreigners, but even then they won't listen to me,’ says the Lord.”
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.
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 Speaking in tongues is a sign, not to believers, but those who don't believe. Speaking God's prophetic message is the opposite: it is not for those who don't believe, but for believers.
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.
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 the whole church is meeting together and you are all speaking in tongues, and some people come in who don't understand, or people who don't believe, won't they say that you are insane?
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?
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 is speaking God's message, and someone comes in who isn't a believer, or someone who doesn't understand, they will be convinced and called to account by everyone's words.
24 Mas si todos profetizan, y entra algún infiel ó indocto, de todos es convencido, de todos es juzgado;
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 Their secret thoughts will be revealed, so they will fall to their knees and worship God, affirming that God is truly among you.
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.
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 So then, brothers and sisters, what should you do? When you meet together, different people will sing, or teach, or share a special message, or speak in a tongue, or give an interpretation. But everything should be done to build up and encourage the church.
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.
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 wants to speak in a tongue, make it just two, or three at the most, taking turns, and someone should interpret what is said.
27 Si hablare alguno en lengua [extraña], [sea esto] por dos, ó á lo más tres, y por turno; mas uno interprete.
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 If there's no one there to interpret, those who speak in tongues should keep quiet in church and only speak to themselves, and God.
28 Y si no hubiere intérprete, calle en la iglesia, y hable á sí mismo y á Dios.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
29 Similarly, have two or three of those who give God's prophetic message speak, and let everyone else think about what was said.
29 Asimismo, los profetas hablen dos ó tres, y los demás juzguen.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
30 However, if a special revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, then the first speaker should give way to them.
30 Y si á otro que estuviere sentado, fuere revelado, calle el primero.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 You can all speak for God, one at a time, so that everyone can learn and be encouraged.
31 Porque podéis todos profetizar uno por uno, para que todos aprendan, y todos sean exhortados.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
32 It is for those who speak for God to control their prophetic inspiration,
32 Y los espíritus de los que profetizaren, sujétense á los profetas;
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 for God is not a God of disorder but of peace and quiet. This is the way it should be in all the churches of God's people.
33 Porque Dios no es Dios de disensión, sino de paz; como en todas las iglesias de los santos.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
34 “Women should stay quiet in the churches—they shouldn't speak. They should respect their situation, as the laws states.
34 Vuestras mujeres callen en las congregaciones; porque no les es permitido hablar, sino que estén sujetas, como también la ley dice.
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 If they want to learn they can do so at home, asking their husbands. It is not proper for women to speak in church.”
35 Y si quieren aprender alguna cosa, pregunten en casa á sus maridos; porque deshonesta cosa es hablar una mujer en la congregación.
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 What? Did the word of God begin with you? Are you the only ones it came to?
36 Qué, ¿ha salido de vosotros la palabra de Dios? ¿ó á vosotros solos ha llegado?
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 Anyone who thinks they are a prophet, or that they have some spiritual gift, should be aware that what I'm writing to you is a command of the Lord.
37 Si alguno á su parecer, es profeta, ó espiritual, reconozca lo que os escribo, porque son mandamientos del Señor.
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 Those who ignore this will themselves be ignored.
38 Mas el que ignora, ignore.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 So my brothers and sisters, make it your aim to speak for God. Don't prohibit speaking in tongues.
39 Así que, hermanos, procurad profetizar; y no impidáis el hablar lenguas.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
40 Just make sure everything done is done properly and in an orderly manner.
40 Empero hágase todo decentemente y con orden.
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.
