8 Ahava never fails: but whether there are prophecies,
they shall fail; whether there be diverse languages, they
shall cease; whether there be da’at, it shall vanish
away. 5925
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is Perfect has come, then that
which is in part shall be done away. 5926
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as
a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I
put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly; but then panayimel-panayim:
5927 now I know in part; but then shall I know
Him, even as also He has known me.
13 And now abides these three – emunah, tikvah, ahava;
but the greatest of these is ahava. 5928
14
Follow after ahava, and desire spiritual gifts, but
specifically that you may prophesy.
2 For he that speaks in an unknown language 5929 speaks
not to men, but to tvkt: for no man understands him;
but in the Ruach he speaks sod mysteries.
3 But he that prophesies speaks to men to edification, and
encouragement, and comfort.
4 He that speaks in an unknown language edifies himself;
but he that prophesies 5930 edifies the Yisraelite
congregation.
5 I would that you all spoke with diverse languages, but
rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that
prophesies than he that speaks with diverse languages,
unless the same one interpret, that the Yisraelite
congregation may receive edifying.
6 Now, Yisraelite brothers, if I come to you speaking with
diverse languages, what shall I profit you, except I shall
speak to you either by revelation, or by da’at, or by
prophesying, or by teaching?
7 And even lifeless instruments that give musical sounds,
whether flute, or harp, except they give a distinct sound,
how shall it be known what is played on the flute, or
harp?
8 For if the shofar gives out an uncertain sound, who shall
prepare himself for the battle?
9 So likewise, unless you utter by the tongue words that
are easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is
spoken? For you shall be speaking into the air.
10 There are, undoubtedly, so many kinds of voices and
sounds in the olam hazeh, and none of them is without
significance.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I
shall be to him that speaks a foreigner, and he that speaks
shall be a foreigner 5931 to me.
12 So since, you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek gifts
that will allow you to excel in the edifying of the entire
Yisraelite congregation.
13 Therefore let him that speaks in an unknown language
make tefillah that he may also be given the interpretation.
14 For if I make tefillah in an unknown language, my
Ruach makes tefillah, but my binah is unfruitful.
15 What then shall I do? I will make tefillah with the
Ruach, and I will make tefillah with binah also: I will sing
with the Ruach, and I will sing with binah also.
16 Or, else when you shall bless with the Ruach, how
shall he that is in a place of not being learned say, Amein,
when you give hodu, seeing he does not understand what
QORINTYAH ALEF - FIRST CORINTHIANS
- 735 -
you are saying?
17 For you truly do well to give hodu in the Ruach, but
the others are not edified.
18 I thank my tvkt; I speak with diverse languages
more than all of you combined:
19 Yet in the Yisraelite congregation I had rather speak
five words with my binah, that by my voice I might teach
others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown
language.
20 Yisraelite brothers, be not children in binah: but in evil
and Torah breaking, that’s where you can be children, but
in binah be men.
21 In the Torah it is written, With men of other diverse
languages and other lips will I speak to this people; and
yet for all that will they not hear Me, says the Master
vuvh. 5932
22 So diverse languages are for a sign, not to them that
believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying
serves not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
23 If therefore the whole Yisraelite congregation comes
together into one place, and all speak with diverse
languages, and there comes in a visitor, or those that are
unlearned in the gifts, or even unbelievers, will they not
say that you are meshugoyim?
24 But if all prophesy, and there comes in a visitor, one
that believes not, or one who is unlearned, he will be
convinced by all the words, and he will be set right by all
the words:
25 And the secrets of his lev will be openly revealed; and
so falling down on his face he will worship tvkt, and
report that tvkt is truly among you.
26 How is it then, Yisraelite brothers? When you come
together, each one of you has a mizmor, has a different
doctrine, has a language, has a revelation, and has an
interpretation. Let all things be done to build up the
people of Yisrael.
27 If any man speaks in an unknown language, let two, or
at most three take their turns, and let someone interpret.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the
Yisraelite congregation; and let him speak to himself, and
to His tvkt.
29 Let the neviim speak two, or three in their turns, and
let the others discern their words.
30 If anything is simultaneously revealed to another that
sits by, let the first hold his silence and not interrupt.
31 For you may all prophesy one by one in your turn, that
all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the ruachim of the neviim are subject to the
neviim. 5933
33 For tvkt is not the author of confusion, but of
shalom, as He is in all congregations of the Yisraelite
kidushim.
34 Let your women keep silent in the congregations: for it
is not permitted for them to speak; but they are
commanded to be under obedience, as also says the
Torah.
35 And if they will learn anything, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak
out in the Yisraelite congregation. 5934
36 What? Came the word of vuvh out from you only? Or,
came it to you only?
37 If any man thinks himself to be a navi, or a spiritual
