For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

For as the body is one and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body: So also is Christ.

For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.

For the body also is not one member, but many.

That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another.

But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.

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

Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.

For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.

And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.

There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world: and none is without voice.

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit.

For thou indeed givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecies, not to unbelievers but to believers.

For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
