1Cor 14:26; What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
1Cor 14:27; If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;
1Cor 14:28; but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.
1Cor 14:22; So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.
1Cor 14:12; So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.
1Cor 14:13; Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
1Cor 14:23; Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
Sorry for the delay, I wanted to pray, go back, and restudy the scriptures.
Let us look at the scripture in more detail rather than verse knapping.
I have included the original words and meaning from the Greek.
The section of scripture is referring first and foremost to, The Brethren, which are the brothers in Christ, the saved souls.
The section is also referring to the church, note the ekklesia, the only word for church in all of scripture.
The discussion then moves to tongues, tongues being translated from word to mean, an article e.g. the tongue and also a foreigner, different tongue.
We see in verse 26, Brethren, which we looked at earlier, same work meaning The Brother's in Christ, the born again, the saved souls. What do the brethren, what do the saved souls do?
They 'come together', they have doctrine, psalms, tongues, revelation, etc. Let all things be done to edify. To build the church in worship, to build the congregation oF saved souls in worship, with psalms, doctrine, etc.
Verse 28, we have let him keep quiet in the ekklesia, in the church. Ekklesia, being (G1577)
Ekklesia is the Greek word translated in NT as "church."
It comes from ek, meaning "out from and to" and kaleo, meaning "to call," and has to do with
a group of people called out from one place and to another, as an assembly or a congregation.
Greek Ekklēsia, (“
gathering of those summoned”), those who are born anew, called out, from sin to righteousness, from the world and sin, to God, through Jesus to righteousness.
Therefore the righteous which includes those currently living and the Saints.
1Cor 14:20-40
20
Brethren, [G80 Brother a Saved souls) be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written,
With men of other tongues (G2084 a foreigner) and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore
tongues (G3588 & G1100 a definate article tongue) are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the
whole church (ekklesia) be come together into one place (not a building now called a church but anywhere, place or building),
and all speak with tongues,
and there come in those that are unlearned (G2399 ignorant or ignoramous), or
unbelievers (G571 faithless), will they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
believeth not (G571 faithless), or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26
How is it then, brethren? G80 Brothers) when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown
tongue (G1100), let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the
church (G1577 ekklesia); and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace,
as in all churches (G1577 ekklesia's saved souls and saints) of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the
churches: (G1577 ekklesia) for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
In His Love
