that there not be division in the body, but that the members might have the same care for one another.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

For now we see through a mirror in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will fully know even as I also was fully known.

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

But the one prophesying to men speaks for building up, and encouragement, and comfort.

And I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy. For the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive building up.

For also if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will get himself ready for war?

So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will the thing being said be known? For you will be speaking into air.

For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not built up.

Then what is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, he has a teaching, he has a language, he has a revelation, he has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be encouraged.

For I delivered to you in the first place what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not sufficient to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised.

For since death is through man, also through a Man is a resurrection of the dead;

for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
