NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Subject: Speaking in tongues? Use by women? |
Bible Note: I ask myself, why were the Corinthians, carnal as they were speaking in tongues? Paul exhorts them to only speak in tongues to prophesy, to EDIFY the church. I get the impression that even the one speaking the tongue has no idea what they are saying! 1Cor14:14 says the tongues are a sign to unbelievers. and since there are still unbelievers, tongues I imagine are still useful. Can women prophesy in the house of God? I believe so. I think the tongues are languages. Who do you think the unlearned are in v23? JAH BLESS. |
