Pursue love, and desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
你们要追求爱，更要切慕属灵的恩赐，尤其要切慕申言。

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one hears, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
那说方言的，原不是对人说，乃是对神说，因为没有人听出来，然而他在灵里却是讲说各样的奥秘。

But he who prophesies speaks building up and encouragement and consolation to men.
但那申言的，是对人讲说建造、勉励和安慰。

He who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but he who prophesies builds up the church.
那说方言的，是建造自己，但那申言的，乃是建造召会。

I desire that you all speak in tongues, but especially that you would prophesy; and greater is he who prophesies than he who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, that the church may receive building up.
我愿意你们都说方言，但我更愿意你们申言；说方言的，若不翻出来，使召会得建造，那申言的，就比他强了。

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching?
弟兄们，我到你们那里去，若只说方言，与你们有什么益处？除非我用启示，或知识，或预言，或教训，对你们讲说。

Yet even lifeless things, whether flute or harp, in giving a sound, if they give no distinction in the tones, how will what is played on the flute or on the harp be known?
就是那无生命而发声之物，或箫、或琴，若发出来的声调没有分别，怎能知道所吹所弹的是什么？

For also if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
若吹无定的号声，谁能预备打仗？

So also you, unless you give with the tongue a word easy to understand, how will what is being said be known? For you will be speaking into the air.
你们也是如此，若不用舌头说容易明白的话，人怎能知道你所说的是什么？这样，你们就是向空气说话了。

There are perhaps many kinds of voices in the world, and not one is without significance.
世上的口音，种类或者甚多，却没有一样是无音义的。

If then I do not know the meaning of the voice, I will be to him who is speaking a barbarian, and he who is speaking a barbarian to me.
这样，我若不明白那口音的意思，我对那说话的便是化外之人，那说话的对我也是化外之人。

So also you, since you are zealous of spirits, seek that you may excel for the building up of the church.
你们也是如此，既渴慕灵，就要为着召会的建造，寻求得以超越。

Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
所以那说方言的，就当祷告，使他能翻出来。

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
因为我若用方言祷告，我的灵就祷告，我的心思却没有作用。

What then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the mind; I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing also with the mind.
这却怎么样？我要用灵祷告，也要用心思祷告；我要用灵歌唱，也要用心思歌唱。

Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned in tongues say the Amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
不然，你若用灵祝福，在场那不通方言的人，既然不晓得你所说的，怎能在你感谢的时候说阿们？

For you give thanks well, but the other is not built up.
你固然感谢得好，无奈别人得不着建造。

I thank God, I speak in tongues more than all of you,
我感谢神，我说方言比你们众人还多，

But in the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
但在召会中，我宁愿用我的心思说五句话，可以教导人，强如用方言说万句话。

Brothers, do not be children in your understanding, but in malice be babes and in your understanding be full-grown.
弟兄们，在领悟上不要作小孩子，但在恶事上要作婴孩，在领悟上却要成熟。

In the law it is written, “By those of other tongues and with the lips of others I will speak to this people; even so they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
律法上记着：“主说，我要用异邦人的舌头，和异邦人的嘴唇，向这百姓说话；虽然如此，他们还是不听从我。”

So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to the unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign not to the unbelievers but to those who believe.
这样，方言不是给信的人作表记，乃是给不信的人；但申言不是给不信的人作表记，乃是给信的人。

If therefore the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak in tongues, and some unlearned in tongues or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are insane?
所以若全召会聚在一处的时候，众人都说方言，有不通方言的，或是不信的人进来，岂不说你们癫狂了么？

But if all prophesy and some unbeliever or unlearned person enters, he is convicted by all, he is examined by all;
但若众人都申言，有不信的，或是不通方言的人进来，他就被众人劝服，被众人审明了；

The secrets of his heart become manifest; and so falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring that indeed God is among you.
他心里的隐情显露出来，就必面伏于地敬拜神，宣告说，神真是在你们中间了。

Jehovah is near to all who call upon Him, / To all who call upon Him in truth.
凡呼求耶和华的，就是真实呼求祂的，耶和华便与他们相近。

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him, / And He will hear their cry and save them.
敬畏祂的，祂必成就他们的心愿，也必听他们的呼求，拯救他们。

Jehovah preserves all who love Him, / But He will destroy all the wicked.
耶和华保护一切爱祂的人，却要灭绝一切的恶人。

My mouth will speak the praise of Jehovah, / And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

His breath goes forth; he returns to his earth; / On that day his plans perish.
他的气一断，就归回尘土；他所打算的，当日就销灭了。

Blessed is the man whose help is the God of Jacob, / Whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
以雅各的神为帮助，仰望耶和华他神的，这人便为有福。

Who made heaven and earth / And the sea, and all that is in them; / Who keeps faith forever;
