About 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians addresses a divided church's problems, with teaching on love, worship and the resurrection.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.Selected1 Corinthians 14:1Ask

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.Selected1 Corinthians 14:2Ask

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.Selected1 Corinthians 14:3Ask

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.Selected1 Corinthians 14:4Ask

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.Selected1 Corinthians 14:5Ask

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?Selected1 Corinthians 14:6Ask

And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?Selected1 Corinthians 14:7Ask

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?Selected1 Corinthians 14:8Ask

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.Selected1 Corinthians 14:9Ask

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.Selected1 Corinthians 14:10Ask

Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.Selected1 Corinthians 14:11Ask

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.Selected1 Corinthians 14:12Ask

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.Selected1 Corinthians 14:13Ask

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.Selected1 Corinthians 14:14Ask

What is it then? 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.Selected1 Corinthians 14:15Ask

Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?Selected1 Corinthians 14:16Ask

For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.Selected1 Corinthians 14:17Ask

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:Selected1 Corinthians 14:18Ask

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.Selected1 Corinthians 14:19Ask

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.Selected1 Corinthians 14:20Ask

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the LORD.Selected1 Corinthians 14:21Ask

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.Selected1 Corinthians 14:22Ask

If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?Selected1 Corinthians 14:23Ask

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:Selected1 Corinthians 14:24Ask

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.Selected1 Corinthians 14:25Ask

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.Selected1 Corinthians 14:26Ask

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.Selected1 Corinthians 14:27Ask

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.Selected1 Corinthians 14:28Ask

Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.Selected1 Corinthians 14:29Ask

If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.Selected1 Corinthians 14:30Ask

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.Selected1 Corinthians 14:31Ask

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.Selected1 Corinthians 14:32Ask

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.Selected1 Corinthians 14:33Ask

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.Selected1 Corinthians 14:34Ask

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.Selected1 Corinthians 14:35Ask

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?Selected1 Corinthians 14:36Ask

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.Selected1 Corinthians 14:37Ask

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.Selected1 Corinthians 14:38Ask

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.Selected1 Corinthians 14:39Ask

Let all things be done decently and in order.Selected1 Corinthians 14:40Ask
