But now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

For our comely parts haue no need: but God hath tempered the bodie together, hauing giuen more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

That there should be no schisme in the body: but that the members should haue the same care one for another.

But couet earnestly the best gifts: And yet shew I vnto you a more excellent way.

Reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:

Charitie neuer faileth: but whether there be prophesies, they shall faile; whether there bee tongues, they shall cease; whether there bee knowledge, it shall vanish away.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part, shalbe done away.

When I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstood as a childe, I thought as a childe: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glasse, darkely: but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know euen as also I am knowen.

And now abideth faith, hope, charitie, these three, but the greatest of these is charitie.

Follow after charitie, and desire spirituall giftes, but rather that yee may prophesie.

For he that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man vnderstandeth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophesieth, edifieth the Church.

I would that yee all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is hee that prophesieth, then hee that speaketh with tongues, except hee interprete, that the Church may receiue edifying.

For if I pray in an vnknowen tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my vnderstanding is vnfruitfull.

For thou verily giuest thankes well: but the other is not edified.

Brethren, bee not children in vnderstanding: how be it, in malice be yee children, but in vnderstanding be men.

Wherfore tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: But prophesying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.
