Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.

But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophecy, or of teaching?

Yet even lifeless instruments, whether 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?

For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be talking to the air.

There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning.

So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me.

So you too, since you are eager to possess spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the edification of the church.

사랑을 추구하며 신령한 것들을 사모하되 특별히 예언을 하려고 하라

Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

방언을 말하는 자는 사람에게 하지 아니하고 하나님께 하나니 이는 알아 듣는 자가 없고 영으로 비밀을 말함이라

For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

그러나 예언하는 자는 사람에게 말하여 덕을 세우며 권면하며 위로하는 것이요

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.

방언을 말하는 자는 자기의 덕을 세우고 예언하는 자는 교회의 덕을 세우나니

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

나는 너희가 다 방언 말하기를 원하나 특별히 예언하기를 원하노라 만일 방언을 말하는 자가 통역하여 교회의 덕을 세우지 아니하면 예언하는 자만 못하니라

Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.

그런즉 형제들아 내가 너희에게 나아가서 방언으로 말하고 계시나 지식이나 예언이나 가르치는 것으로 말하지 아니하면 너희에게 무엇이 유익하리요

But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophecy, or of teaching?

혹 피리나 거문고와 같이 생명 없는 것이 소리를 낼 때에 그 음의 분별을 나타내지 아니하면 피리 부는 것인지 거문고 타는 것인지 어찌 알게 되리요

Yet even lifeless instruments, whether 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?

만일 나팔이 분명하지 못한 소리를 내면 누가 전투를 준비하리요

For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

이와 같이 너희도 혀로써 알아 듣기 쉬운 말을 하지 아니하면 그 말하는 것을 어찌 알리요 이는 허공에다 말하는 것이라

So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be talking to the air.

이같이 세상에 소리의 종류가 많으나 뜻 없는 소리는 없나니

There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning.

그러므로 내가 그 소리의 뜻을 알지 못하면 내가 말하는 자에게 외국인이 되고 말하는 자도 내게 외국인이 되리니

So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me.

그러므로 너희도 영적인 것을 사모하는 자인즉 교회의 덕을 세우기 위하여 그것이 풍성하기를 구하라

So you too, since you are eager to possess spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the edification of the church.
