1 Corinthians 14:36-40 (WEL) What! Did the word of God come from you, or do you think it came to only you? 37 If anyone thinks of himself as a prophet or spiritual person, then let him acknowledge that what I write to you are the Lord’s commandments. 38 But if anyone is ignorant,…
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (WEL) Let your wives stay quiet in the congregations, for it is not allowed for them to speak but to be under authority as even the law states. 35 If they want to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is shameful for women to speak in…
1 Corinthians 14:26-33 (WEL) So how is it, brethren, when you come together, everyone has a psalm, teaching, unknown language, a revelation, or interpretation? Let everything be for edifying. 27 If anyone speaks in an unknown language, let it be by two or at most three and then in order; also, someone must interpret.…
1 Corinthians 14:22-25 (WEL) So then, unknown languages are a sign to those who don’t believe, not to those who believe, but prophesying is for those who believe, not for those who don’t believe. 23 Therefore, if the whole congregation is gathered in one place and all speak in unknown languages, and some come…
1 Corinthians 14:9-12 (WEL) So in the same way, unless you speak easily understood words with your tongue, how will anyone understand what is spoken? You might as well speak into the air. 10 There are, for example, many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them are without meaning. 11 Therefore,…

1 Corinthians 12:20-26 (WEL) Now there are many members, yet only one body. 21 But the eye can’t say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are much…
1 Corinthians 12:12-19 (WEL) Just as the body is one body having many members, and all the members (even though many) of that one body are one body, so is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether servant or free, and we all…
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (WEL) Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 There are different results, but it is the same God who works all things in all. 7 This observable ministry of the Spirit is given to everyone for the benefit of…
1 Corinthians 11:26-30 (WEL) 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27 Therefore, whosoever will eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 So then…
