| 論講道與說方言的恩賜 |
| 14:1 | 你們要追求愛,也要切慕屬靈的恩賜,其中更要羡慕的,是作先知講道(原文作:是說預言;下同) [NASB] Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual {gifts,} but especially that you may prophesy. |
| 14:2 | 那說方言的,原不是對人說,乃是對神說,因為沒有人聽出來。然而,他在心靈�堳o是講說各樣的奧秘。 [NASB] For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in {his} spirit he speaks mysteries. |
| 14:3 | 但作先知講道的,是對人說,要造就、安慰、勸勉人。 [NASB] But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. |
| 14:4 | 說方言的,是造就自己;作先知講道的,乃是造就教會。 [NASB] One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. |
| 14:5 | 我願意你們都說方言,更願意你們作先知講道;因為說方言的,若不翻出來,使教會被造就,那作先知講道的,就比他強了。 [NASB] Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but {even} more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying. |
| 14:6 | 弟兄們,我到你們那�堨h,若只說方言,不用啟示,或知識,或預言,或教訓,給你們講解,我與你們有甚麼益處呢? [NASB] But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching? |
| 14:7 | 就是那有聲無氣的物,或簫,或琴,若發出來的聲音沒有分別,怎能知道所吹所彈的是甚麼呢? [NASB] Yet {even} lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? |
| 14:8 | 若吹無定的號聲,誰能預備打杖呢? [NASB] For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? |
| 14:9 | 你們也是如此。舌頭若不說容易明白的話,怎能知道所說的是甚麼呢?這就是向空說話了。 [NASB] So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. |
| 14:10 | 世上的聲音,或者甚多,卻沒有一樣是無意思的。 [NASB] There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no {kind} is without meaning. |
| 14:11 | 我若不明白那聲音的意思,這說話的人必以我為化外之人,我也以他為化外之人。 [NASB] If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me. |
| 14:12 | 你們也是如此,既是切慕屬靈的恩賜,就當求多得造就教會的恩賜。 [NASB] So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual {gifts,} seek to abound for the edification of the church. |
| 14:13 | 所以那說方言的,就當求著能翻出來。 [NASB] Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. |
| 14:14 | 我若用方言禱告,是我的靈禱告,但我的悟性沒有果效。 [NASB] For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. |
| 14:15 | 這卻怎麼樣呢?我要用靈禱告,也要用悟性禱告;我要用靈歌唱,也要用悟性歌唱。 [NASB] What is {the outcome} then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. |
| 14:16 | 不然,你用靈祝謝,那在座不通方言的人,既然不明白你的話,怎能在你感謝的時候說「阿們」呢? [NASB] Otherwise if you bless in the spirit {only,} how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying? |
| 14:17 | 你感謝的固然是好,無奈不能造就別人。 [NASB] For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified. |
| 14:18 | 我感謝神,我說方言比你們眾人還多。 [NASB] I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; |
| 14:19 | 但在教會中,寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話,強如說萬句方言。 [NASB] however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
| 14:20 | 弟兄們,在心志上不要作小孩子。然而,在惡事上要作嬰孩,在心志上總要作大人。 [NASB] Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature. |
| 14:21 | 律法上記著:主說:我要用外邦人的舌頭和外邦人的嘴唇向這百姓說話;雖然如此,他們還是不聽從我。 [NASB] In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord. |
| 14:22 | 這樣看來,說方言不是為信的人作證據,乃是為不信的人;作先知講道不是為不信的人作證據,乃是為信的人。 [NASB] So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy {is for a sign,} not to unbelievers but to those who believe. |
| 14:23 | 所以,全教會聚在一處的時候,若都說方言,偶然有不通方言的,或是不信的人進來,豈不說你們癲狂了麼? [NASB] Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? |
| 14:24 | 若都作先知講道,偶然有不信的,或是不通方言的人進來,就被眾人勸醒,被眾人審明, [NASB] But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; |
| 14:25 | 他心�堛瑭翿ˍ蒛S出來,就必將臉伏地,敬拜神,說:「神真是在你們中間了。」 [NASB] the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you. |
| 凡事都要按次序行 |
| 14:26 | 弟兄們,這卻怎麼樣呢?你們聚會的時候,各人或有詩歌,或有教訓,或有啟示,或有方言,或有翻出來的話,凡事都當造就人。 [NASB] What is {the outcome} then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. |
| 14:27 | 若有說方言的,只好兩個人,至多三個人,且要輪流著說,也要一個人翻出來。 [NASB] If anyone speaks in a tongue, {it should be} by two or at the most three, and {each} in turn, and one must interpret; |
| 14:28 | 若沒有人翻,就當在會中閉口,只對自己和神說就是了。 [NASB] but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. |
| 14:29 | 至於作先知講道的,只好兩個人或是三個人,其餘的就當慎思明辨。 [NASB] Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. |
| 14:30 | 若旁邊坐著的得了啟示,那先說話的就當閉口不言。 [NASB] But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. |
| 14:31 | 因為你們都可以一個一個地作先知講道,叫眾人學道理,叫眾人得勸勉。 [NASB] For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; |
| 14:32 | 先知的靈原是順服先知的; [NASB] and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; |
| 14:33 | 因為神不是叫混亂,乃是叫人安靜。 [NASB] for God is not {a God} of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. |
| 14:34 | 婦女在會中要閉口不言,像在聖徒的眾教會一樣,因為不准他們說話。他們總要順服,正如律法所說的。 [NASB] The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. |
| 14:35 | 他們若要學甚麼,可以在家�堸搹菑v的丈夫,因為婦女在會中說話原是可恥的。 [NASB] If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. |
| 14:36 | 神的道理豈是從你們出來麼?豈是單臨到你們麼? [NASB] Was it from you that the word of God {first} went forth? Or has it come to you only? |
| 14:37 | 若有人以為自己是先知,或是屬靈的,就該知道,我所寫給你們的是主的命令。 [NASB] If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment. |
| 14:38 | 若有不知道的,就由他不知道吧! [NASB] But if anyone does not recognize {this,} he is not recognized. |
| 14:39 | 所以弟兄們,你們要切慕作先知講道,也不要禁止說方言。 [NASB] Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. |
| 14:40 | 凡事都要規規矩矩地按著次序行。 [NASB] But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner. |
