I Cor 14:1 I follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
I Cor 14:2 I speak in tongues but to God not men. Indeed, no one understands me; I utter mysteries with my spirit.
I Cor 14:3 I prophesy: I speak to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
I Cor 14:4 I speak in tongues and edify myself; I prophesy and edify the church.
I Cor 14:5 I speak in tongues and I prophesy. I speak in tongues and interpret to the edification of the church.
I Cor 14:6 I bring more than tongues to the people of God; I am a real blessing bringing revelation and knowledge and prophecy and word of instruction.
I Cor 14:7–11 I don’t speak into the air; I communicate the mind of God effectively to the people.
I Cor 14:12 I am eager to have spiritual gifts, and I excel in gifts that build up the church.
I Cor 14:13 I speak in tongues and prayerfully interpret what I say.
I Cor 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
I Cor 14:15 Therefore, I pray in the spirit and also pray in words I understand; I sing in the spirit and in words I understand.
I Cor 14:16 I praise God in the spirit modestly with due respect to the neophytes.
I Cor 14:17 I will not give thanks in the fellowship in a way that is not edifying to everyone.
I Cor 14:18 I thank God; I speak in tongues more than everyone.
I Cor 14:19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
I Cor 14:20 I think like an adult. In regard to evil I am an infant, but in my thinking an adult.
I Cor 14:24 My church is a prophesying church; an unbeliever or a novice comes in while everybody is prophesying orderly, he is convicted of sin and judged prophetically,
I Cor 14:25 the secrets of his heart are laid bare. Therefore, he falls down and worships God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
I Cor 14:26 In my local church, there is an explosion of spirituality and gifting regulated by wisdom; everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation — and all of these are done for the edification of the church.
I Cor 14:27 There is restoration of the gifts of diverse kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues in my church.
I Cor 14:28 I am not forbidden to speak in tongues in the church but quietly to myself and God alone if there is no interpretation. Therefore, I speak in tongues sensibly in the church; I am a plus and not a minus to the visiting unbelievers and novices.
I Cor 14:29 I am a prophet in the house of God who speaks orderly; I submit my prophecies to careful evaluation in light of scriptures and judgment by the Spirit of God.
I Cor 14:30 I am not a bench warmer in church; Revelation comes to me even while sitting down in the service.
I Cor 14:31 I have the wisdom to deliver my prophecies decently and orderly
I Cor 14:32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets, and mine is not different.
I Cor 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace; I am like Him.
I Cor 14:34 I am not a woman making noise in the church; therefore, I need not be told to keep quiet. I don’t abuse my freedom in Christ; therefore, my liberty will not be curtailed. I understand that my freedom is predicated on grace; therefore, I shall not prove unworthy of grace, and the law will not be invoked on account of me to bring order.
I Cor 14:35 I am not a woman raising loud and disorderly questions in the congregation; I will not speak disgracefully in the presence of God. I understand that there is liberty in the presence of God; but I will not take it for a license to be disorderly.
I Cor 14:37 I am a prophet and spiritually gifted by grace; I acknowledge the Lord’s command.
I Cor 14:38 I will not be ignored because I acknowledge the authority of God over my life.
I Cor 14:39 Therefore, I am eager to prophesy, and I forbid no one from speaking in tongues.
I Cor 14:40 I hold it to be godly that everything is done properly and in order.
