02 December - 1 Corinthians 12-14

Jude Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:17 am

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

1 CORINTHIANS 12

1And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

2You know that you were gentiles,a led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led.

3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit.

4And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5There are different kinds of services, but the same Master.

6And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all.

7And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting,

8for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

9and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit,

10and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.

11But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.

12For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah.

13For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.

14For indeed the body is not one member but many.

15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?

16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?

17If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?

18But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased.

19And if they all had been one member, where would the body be?

20And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.

21And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

22But much rather, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary.

23And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness,

24whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it,

25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another.

26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it.

27And you are a body of Messiah, and members individually.

28And Elohim has appointed these in the assembly: firstly emissaries, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, ministrations, kinds of tongues.

29Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31But earnestly seek the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

1 CORINTHIANS 13

1If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2And if I have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all belief, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am none at all.

3And if I give out all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.

4Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, is not puffed up,

5does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not provoked, reckons not the evil,

6does not rejoice over the unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,

7it covers all, believes all, expects all, endures all.

8Love never fails. And whether there be prophecies, they shall be inactive; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be inactive.

9For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be inactive.

11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I did away with childish matters.

12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, as I also have been known.

13And now belief, expectation, and love remain – these three. But the greatest of these is love.

1 CORINTHIANS 14

1Pursue love, and earnestly seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy.

2For he who is speaking in a tongue does not speak to men but to Elohim, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks secrets.

3But he who is prophesying speaks upbuilding and encouragement and comfort to men.

4He who is speaking in a tongue builds up himself, but he who is prophesying builds up the assembly.

5Now I wish you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you might prophesy, for he who is prophesying is greater than he who is speaking with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the assembly might receive upbuilding.

6But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you, either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by teaching?

7Nevertheless, lifeless instruments making a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not make a distinction in the sound, how shall it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

8For indeed, if the trumpet makes an indistinct sound, who shall prepare himself for battle?

9So also you, if you do not give speech by the tongue that is clear, how shall it be known what is spoken? For you shall be speaking into the air.

10There are, undoubtedly, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without distinct sound.

11If then I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks be a foreigner to me.

12So also you, since you are ardent for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in the upbuilding of the assembly.

13Therefore, he who is speaking in a tongue, let him pray that he might interpret.

14For if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my understanding is without fruit.

15What then is it? I shall pray with the spirit, and I shall also pray with the understanding. I shall sing with the spirit, and I shall also sing with the understanding.

16Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how shall he who fills up the place of the unlearned say “Amĕn” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

17For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not built up.

18I thank my Elohim I speak with tongues more than you all,

19but in an assembly I wish to speak five words with my understanding that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

20Brothers, do not be children in your thinking, but in evil be babes, and in your thinking be perfect.

21In the Torah it has been written, “With men of other tongues and other lips I shall speak to this people. And even so, they shall not hear Me, says יהוה.”

22So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers, and prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

23If then all the assembly comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned or unbelievers, shall they not say that you are mad?

24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an unlearned one comes in, he is reproved by all, he is discerned by all.

25And so the secrets of his heart are revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he shall worship Elohim, declaring that Elohim is truly among you.

26What then is it, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all be done for upbuilding.

27If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.

28And if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and let him speak to himself and to Elohim.

29And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others discern.

30And if there should be a revelation to another who sits by, let the first be silent.

31For you are all able to prophesy one by one, so that all learn and all be encouraged.

32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

33For Elohim is not Elohim of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the set-apart ones.

34Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for they are not allowed to speak, but let them subject themselves, as the Torah also says.

35And if they wish to learn whatever, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in an assembly.

36Or did the word of Elohim go out from you? Or did it reach only to you?

37If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge what I write to you, that they are a command of the Master.

38And if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39So, then, brothers, earnestly seek to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

40Let all be done decently and in order.
