52 Week Bible Reading Plan

1 Corinthians 13

1

If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

2

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

3

and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

4

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

5

doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

6

rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

7

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

8

The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

9

for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

10

and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

11

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

12

for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

13

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.

1 Corinthians 14

1

Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

2

for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

3

and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

4

he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

5

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

6

And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?

7

yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?

8

for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?

9

so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

10

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

11

if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

12

so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

13

wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;

14

for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.

15

What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;

16

since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

17

for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

18

I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking --

19

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an [unknown] tongue.

20

Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;

21

in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'

22

so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy [is] not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

23

If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

24

and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

25

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

26

What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

27

if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

28

and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.

29

And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern,

30

and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent;

31

for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,

32

and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,

33

for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

34

Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

35

and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

36

From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come?

37

if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;

38

and if any one is ignorant -- let him be ignorant;

39

so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;

40

let all things be done decently and in order.
