Welcome to tonight's study.  Tonight's question will be;   Why do we study the way we do??  Why do we take the time to break the word back to the original languages when so many teach that all we need is the King James, just believe on Jesus Christ??  And we will answer that question in tonight's study.  So, asking wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the father in the name of Jesus Christ, we begin.

 1Co 14:1  Follow after¹³⁷⁷ charity,²⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ desire²²⁰⁶ spiritual⁴¹⁵² gifts, but¹¹⁶¹ rather³¹²³ that²⁴⁴³ ye may prophesy.⁴³⁹⁵

Lets look at this word for "prophesy" for a moment.

G4395

προφητεύω

prophe¯teuo¯

prof-ate-yoo'-o

From G4396; to foretell events, divine, speak under inspiration, exercise the prophetic office: - prophesy.

"speak under inspiration".  Isn't that what we do when we teach the word in knowledge and spirit??

1Co 14:2  For¹⁰⁶³ he that speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ in an unknown tongue¹¹⁰⁰ speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ unto men,⁴⁴⁴ but²³⁵ unto God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ no man³⁷⁶² understandeth¹⁹¹ him; howbeit¹¹⁶¹ in the spirit⁴¹⁵¹ he speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ mysteries.³⁴⁶⁶

Now just to be fair to all ideas on this matter we will look at this word for "tongue"  and it is:

G1100

γλῶσσα

glo¯ssa

gloce'-sah

Of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired): - tongue.

Now if something is "unaquired" then generally it isn't there as far as man is concerned, or rather to say unlearned.  It was given not learned or acquired.

1Co 14:3  But¹¹⁶¹ he that prophesieth⁴³⁹⁵ speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ unto men⁴⁴⁴ to edification,³⁶¹⁹ and²⁵³² exhortation,³⁸⁷⁴ and²⁵³² comfort.³⁸⁸⁹

What would Paul rather us do??  Prophesy, or teach.

Co 14:4  He that speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ in an unknown tongue¹¹⁰⁰ edifieth³⁶¹⁸ himself;¹⁴³⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ he that prophesieth⁴³⁹⁵ edifieth³⁶¹⁸ the church.¹⁵⁷⁷

And it is always better ot edify the church body than one indivuall only.

1Co 14:5  I⁽¹¹⁶¹⁾ would²³⁰⁹ that ye⁵²⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ spake²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ rather³¹²³ that²⁴⁴³ ye prophesied:⁴³⁹⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ greater³¹⁸⁷ is he that prophesieth⁴³⁹⁵ than²²²⁸ he that speaketh,²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ except^{1622, 1508} he interpret,¹³²⁹ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ may receive²⁹⁸³ edifying.³⁶¹⁹

In other words, if you can not edify the church, or the body of Christ you have not preformed all that the father would have you to perform.  And if nobody can understand what you say, you have not spoken to the edifying of the church or body of Christ.

1Co 14:6  ⁽¹¹⁶¹⁾ Now,³⁵⁷⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ if¹⁴³⁷ I come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ speaking²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ what⁵¹⁰¹ shall I profit⁵⁶²³ you,⁵²⁰⁹ except³³⁶² I shall speak²⁹⁸⁰ to you⁵²¹³ either²²²⁸ by¹⁷²² revelation,⁶⁰² or²²²⁸ by¹⁷²² knowledge,¹¹⁰⁸ or²²²⁸ by¹⁷²² prophesying,⁴³⁹⁴ or²²²⁸ by¹⁷²² doctrine?¹³²²

And here is our answer to our question.  The word used for knowledge here is:

G1108

γνῶσις

gno¯sis

gno'-sis

From G1097; knowing (the act), that is, (by implication) knowledge: - knowledge, science.

This comes only by an in depth study into the word of God.

G1322

διδαχή

didache¯

did-akh-ay'

From G1321; instruction (the act or the matter): - doctrine, hath been taught.

Again, if we do not study, we can give no instruction in a Given matter.

The word for Prophesying is the same meaning as the first one we checked.  and we must have what to prophesy??  Faith for one thing, an atunement with the holy spirit, which comes as we build our faith, and remember, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  We must study.

1Co 14:7  And even³⁶⁷⁶ things without life⁸⁹⁵ giving¹³²⁵ sound,⁵⁴⁵⁶ whether¹⁵³⁵ pipe⁸³⁶ or¹⁵³⁵ harp,²⁷⁸⁸ except¹⁴³⁷ they give¹³²⁵ a⁽³³⁶¹⁾ distinction¹²⁹³ in the³⁵⁸⁸ sounds,⁵³⁵³ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall it be known¹⁰⁹⁷ what is piped⁸³² or²²²⁸ harped?²⁷⁸⁹

1Co 14:8  For^{1063, (2532)} if¹⁴³⁷ the trumpet⁴⁵³⁶ give¹³²⁵ an uncertain⁸² sound,⁵⁴⁵⁶ who⁵¹⁰¹ shall prepare³⁹⁰³ himself to¹⁵¹⁹ the battle?⁴¹⁷¹

No matter what you use to make a sound, if that sound doesn't make sense to those who hear it, it means nothing.

1Co 14:9  So³⁷⁷⁹ likewise²⁵³² ye,⁵²¹⁰ except³³⁶² ye utter¹³²⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ tongue¹¹⁰⁰ words³⁰⁵⁶ easy to be understood,²¹⁵⁴ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall it be known¹⁰⁹⁷ what is spoken?²⁹⁸⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ ye shall speak^{2071, 2980} into¹⁵¹⁹ the air.¹⁰⁹

Speak those things that are easy to be understood or you may as well not be speaking.

1Co 14:10  There are,²⁰⁷⁶ it may be,^{1487, 5177} so many⁵¹¹⁸ kinds¹⁰⁸⁵ of voices⁵⁴⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the world,²⁸⁸⁹ and²⁵³² none³⁷⁶² of them⁸⁴⁶ is without signification.⁸⁸⁰

Lets look at this word used for Voices here.

G5456

φωνή

pho¯ne¯

fo-nay'

Probably akin to G5316 through the idea of disclosure; a tone (articulate, bestial or artificial); by implication an address (for any purpose), saying or language: - noise, sound, voice. 

 This is to say, Languages.  And none of them are mute or without voice or purpose as we see when we look at the word used for "signification".

G880

ἄφωνος

apho¯nos

af'-o-nos

From G1 (as a negative particle) and G5456; voiceless, that is, mute (by nature or choice); figuratively unmeaning: - dumb, without signification.

1Co 14:11  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ if¹⁴³⁷ I know¹⁴⁹² not³³⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ meaning¹⁴¹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ I shall be²⁰⁷¹ unto him that speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ a barbarian,⁹¹⁵ and²⁵³² he that speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ shall be a barbarian⁹¹⁵ unto¹⁷²² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

again, Pual never ceases to stress the point that if you are not understood all that you say means nothing.

1Co 14:12  Even²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ ye,⁵²¹⁰ forasmuch as¹⁸⁹³ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ zealous²²⁰⁷ of spiritual⁴¹⁵¹ gifts, seek²²¹² that²⁴⁴³ ye may excel⁴⁰⁵² to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ edifying³⁶¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church.¹⁵⁷⁷

1Co 14:13  Wherefore¹³⁵⁵ let him that speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ in an unknown tongue¹¹⁰⁰ pray⁴³³⁶ that²⁴⁴³ he may interpret.¹³²⁹

That is to say, for the most part, that if you go to Spain, and you speak only English, pray that you may interpret or be interpreted else those who hear you will profit nothing from your words.

1Co 14:14  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴³⁷ I pray⁴³³⁶ in an unknown tongue,¹¹⁰⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ prayeth,⁴³³⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ understanding³⁵⁶³ is²⁰⁷⁶ unfruitful.¹⁷⁵

This would be that which many refer to as the "Prayer Language".  Is it real??  Pual says it is.  But this should be between you and the father, and not for men.

1Co 14:15  What⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ it then?³⁷⁶⁷ I will pray⁴³³⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and¹¹⁶¹ I will pray⁴³³⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ understanding³⁵⁶³ also:²⁵³² I will sing⁵⁵⁶⁷ with the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and¹¹⁶¹ I will sing⁵⁵⁶⁷ with the³⁵⁸⁸ understanding³⁵⁶³ also.²⁵³²

1Co 14:16  Else¹⁸⁹³ when¹⁴³⁷ thou shalt bless²¹²⁷ with the³⁵³³ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall he that occupieth³⁷⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ room⁵¹¹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ unlearned²³⁹⁹ say²⁰⁴⁶ Amen⁽²⁸¹⁸⁾ at¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁴ giving of thanks,²¹⁶⁹ seeing¹⁸⁹⁴ he understandeth¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou sayest?³⁰⁰⁴

1Co 14:17  For¹⁰⁶³ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ verily³³⁰³ givest thanks²¹⁶⁸ well,²⁵⁷³ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁰⁸⁷ is not³⁷⁵⁶ edified.³⁶¹⁸

If nobody understands what you say, they wont even know when to say Amen.  They havent gotten a thing out of it.

1Co 14:18  I thank²¹⁶⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ God,²³¹⁶ I speak²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues¹¹⁰⁰ more³¹²³ than ye⁵²¹⁶ all:³⁹⁵⁶

1Co 14:19  Yet²³⁵ in¹⁷⁷² the church¹⁵⁷⁷ I had²³⁰⁹ rather speak²⁹⁸⁰ five⁴⁰⁰² words³⁰⁵⁶ with¹²²³ my³⁴⁵⁰ understanding,³⁵⁶³ that²⁴⁴³ by my voice I might teach²⁷²⁷ others²⁴³ also,²⁵³² than²²²⁸ ten thousand³⁴⁶³ words³⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² an unknown tongue.¹¹⁰⁰  

Now take note, Paul says that he would rather speak five words with "my understanding".  How do you get understanding??  You study constantly.  Show thy self approved.  Our righteousness is as filthy rags before the father, so we get as close as we can get by reading the word he has left to us and trust in grace and the blood of Jesus Christ for our salvation.

1Co 14:20  Brethren,⁸⁰ be¹⁰⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ children³⁸¹³ in understanding:⁵⁴²⁴ howbeit²³⁵ in malice²⁵⁴⁹ be ye children,³⁵¹⁵ but¹¹⁶¹ in understanding⁵⁴²⁴ be¹⁰⁹⁶ men.⁵⁰⁴⁶

Again, we must have understanding.

1Co 14:21  In¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ With¹⁷²² men of other tongues²⁰⁸⁴ and²⁵³² other^{(1722), 2087} lips⁵⁴⁹¹ will I speak²⁹⁸⁰ unto this⁵¹²⁹ people;²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² yet for all that³⁷⁷⁹ will they not³⁷⁶¹ hear¹⁵²² me,³⁴⁵⁰ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the Lord.²⁹⁶²

Now here we have a different Greek word used for tounges.

G2084

ἑτερόγλωσσος

heteroglo¯ssos

het-er-og'-loce-sos

From G2087 and G1100; other tongued, that is, a foreigner: - man of other tongue.

  Simple, other languages.  But where was it written in the law??  Were was this taght before Christ came to us??  It was in:

Isa 28:11  For³⁵⁸⁸ with stammering³⁹³⁴ lips⁸¹⁹³ and another³¹² tongue³⁹⁵⁶ will he speak¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

Isa 28:12  To⁴¹³ whom⁸³⁴ he said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁶³ is the rest⁴⁴⁹⁶ wherewith ye may cause the weary⁵⁸⁸⁹ to rest;⁵¹¹⁷ and this²⁰⁶³ is the refreshing:⁴⁷⁷⁴ yet they would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵

dont make anything complicated from this one, the word for "stammering" is simply

H3934

ىٍâ

la^‛e^g

law-ayg'

From H3932; a buffoon; also a foreigner: - mocker, stammering.

  and goes on to say that they would not hear. 

In fact, we will back up just a little bit here.

Isa 28:1  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to the crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of pride,¹³⁴⁸ to the drunkards⁷⁹¹⁰ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ whose glorious⁶⁶⁴³ beauty⁸⁵⁹⁷ is a fading⁵⁰³⁴ flower,⁶⁷³¹ which⁸³⁴ are on⁵⁹²¹ the head⁷²¹⁸ of the fat⁸⁰⁸¹ valleys¹⁵¹⁶ of them that are overcome¹⁹⁸⁶ with wine!³¹⁹⁶

Isa 28:2  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ hath a mighty²³⁸⁹ and strong one,⁵³³ which as a tempest²²³⁰ of hail¹²⁵⁹ and a destroying⁶⁹⁸⁶ storm,⁸¹⁷⁸ as a flood²²³⁰ of mighty³⁵²⁴ waters⁴³²⁵ overflowing,⁷⁸⁵⁷ shall cast down⁵¹¹⁷ to the earth⁷⁷⁶ with the hand.³⁰²⁷   It may seem off the subject just a bit for the moment, but lets look at this word for "mighty".

H2389

çو÷

cha^za^q

khaw-zawk'

From H2388; strong (usually in a bad sense, hard, bold, violent): - harder, hottest, + impudent, loud, mighty, sore, stiff [-hearted], strong (-er).

Now storm;

H8178

ùزٍّ

s´a‛ar

sah'-ar

From H8175; a tempest; also a terror: - affrighted, X horribly, X sore, storm. See H8181.

  sound familiar??

Isa 28:3  The crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of pride,¹³⁴⁸ the drunkards⁷⁹¹⁰ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ shall be trodden⁷⁴²⁹ under feet:⁷²⁷²

Isa 28:4  And the glorious⁶⁶⁴³ beauty,⁸⁵⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ is on⁵⁹²¹ the head⁷²¹⁸ of the fat⁸⁰⁸¹ valley,¹⁵¹⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a fading⁵⁰³⁴ flower,⁶⁷³³ and as the hasty fruit¹⁰⁶¹ before²⁹⁶² the summer;⁷⁰¹⁹ which⁸³⁴ when he that looketh⁷²⁰⁰ upon it seeth,⁷²⁰⁰ while it is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ in his hand³⁷⁰⁹ he eateth it up.¹¹⁰⁴

Isa 28:5  In that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ shall the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ be¹⁹⁶¹ for a crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of glory,⁶⁶⁴³ and for a diadem⁶⁸⁴³ of beauty,⁸⁵⁹⁷ unto the residue⁷⁶⁰⁵ of his people,⁵⁹⁷¹

Isa 28:6  And for a spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ to him that sitteth³⁴²⁷ in⁵⁹²¹ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and for strength¹³⁶⁹ to them that turn⁷⁷²⁵ the battle⁴⁴²¹ to the gate.⁸¹⁷⁹

Isa 28:7  But they⁴²⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ have erred⁷⁶⁸⁶ through wine,³¹⁹⁶ and through strong drink⁷⁹⁴¹ are out of the way;⁸⁵⁸² the priest³⁵⁴⁸ and the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ have erred⁷⁶⁸⁶ through strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ they are swallowed up¹¹⁰⁴ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ wine,³¹⁹⁶ they are out of the way⁸⁵⁸² through⁴⁴⁸⁰ strong drink;⁷⁹⁴¹ they err⁷⁶⁸⁶ in vision,⁷²⁰³ they stumble⁶³²⁸ in judgment.⁶⁴¹⁷

Note that both the Priest and the Prophet have erred.  How so?

Isa 28:8  For³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ tables⁷⁹⁷⁹ are full⁴³⁹⁰ of vomit⁶⁸⁹² and filthiness,⁶⁶⁷⁵ so that there is no¹⁰⁹⁷ place⁴⁷²⁵ clean.

Isa 28:9  ⁽⁸⁵³⁾ Whom⁴³¹⁰ shall he teach³³⁸⁴ knowledge?¹⁸⁴⁴ and whom⁴³¹⁰ shall he make to understand⁹⁹⁵ doctrine?⁸⁰⁵² them that are weaned¹⁵⁸⁰ from the milk,^{4480, 2461} and drawn⁶²⁶⁷ from the breasts.^{4480, 7699}  

Here we have it.  Who will teach knowledge?  now the word for "doctrine" is a bit different from that in the Greek.  It is:

H8052

ùرîهجٍن

sh^emu^‛a^h

shem-oo-aw'

Feminine passive participle of H8074; something heard, that is, an announcement: - bruit, doctrine, fame, mentioned, news, report, rumor, tidings.

Who will he make to understand this report, or this rumor??

Isa 28:10  For³⁵⁸⁸ precept⁶⁶⁷³ must be upon precept,⁶⁶⁷³ precept⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept;⁶⁶⁷³ line⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line,⁶⁹⁵⁷ line⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line;⁶⁹⁵⁷ here⁸⁰³³ a little,²¹⁹¹ and there⁸⁰³³ a little:²¹⁹¹

This is how we must teach, line upon line friends.  Now we can pick up back where we came in to this book.

Isa 28:12  To⁴¹³ whom⁸³⁴ he said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁶³ is the rest⁴⁴⁹⁶ wherewith ye may cause the weary⁵⁸⁸⁹ to rest;⁵¹¹⁷ and this²⁰⁶³ is the refreshing:⁴⁷⁷⁴ yet they would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵

Isa 28:13  But the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ unto them precept⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept,⁶⁶⁷³ precept⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept;⁶⁶⁷³ line⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line,⁶⁹⁵⁷ line⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line;⁶⁹⁵⁷ here⁸⁰³³ a little,²¹⁹¹ and there⁸⁰³³ a little;²¹⁹¹ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they might go,¹⁹⁸⁰ and fall³⁷⁸² backward,²⁶⁸ and be broken,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and snared,³³⁶⁹ and taken.³⁹²⁰

Isa 28:14  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ ye scornful³⁹⁴⁴ men,³⁷⁶ that rule⁴⁹¹⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ is in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

Isa 28:15  Because³⁵⁸⁸ ye have said,⁵⁵⁹ We have made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ death,⁴¹⁹⁴ and with⁵⁹⁷³ hell⁷⁵⁸⁵ are we at⁶²¹³ agreement;²³⁷⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ the overflowing⁷⁸⁵⁷ scourge⁷⁷⁵² shall pass through,⁵⁶⁷⁴ it shall not³⁸⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ unto us: for³⁵⁸⁸ we have made⁷⁷⁶⁰ lies³⁵⁷⁷ our refuge,⁴²⁶⁸ and under falsehood⁸²⁶⁷ have we hid ourselves:⁵⁶⁴¹  

Oh yes, it will pass through and not come unto us.  Does that sound familliar to anybody??  We must be prepaired to face this flood of lies that is to come on the earth in these, the end times.  In order to do that we must study to show ourselves approved.  Not hide ourselves under falsehood.  We will go deeper into this chapter latter, for now let us return to the wrightings of paul.

1Co 14:21  In¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ With¹⁷²² men of other tongues²⁰⁸⁴ and²⁵³² other^{(1722), 2087} lips⁵⁴⁹¹ will I speak²⁹⁸⁰ unto this⁵¹²⁹ people;²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² yet for all that³⁷⁷⁹ will they not³⁷⁶¹ hear¹⁵²² me,³⁴⁵⁰ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the Lord.²⁹⁶²

1Co 14:22  Wherefore⁵⁶²⁰ tongues¹¹⁰⁰ are¹⁵²⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ a sign,⁴⁵⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ to them that believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ but²³⁵ to them that believe not:⁵⁷¹ but¹¹⁶¹ prophesying⁴³⁹⁴ serveth not³⁷⁵⁶ for them that believe not,⁵⁷¹ but²³⁵ for them which believe.⁴¹⁰⁰

1Co 14:23  If¹⁴³⁷ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ whole³⁶⁵⁰ church¹⁵⁷⁷ be come together⁴⁹⁰⁵ into¹⁹⁰⁹ one place,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ and¹¹⁶¹ there come in¹⁵²⁵ those that are unlearned,²³⁹⁹ or²²²⁸ unbelievers,⁵⁷¹ will they not³⁷⁵⁶ say²⁰⁴⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ ye are mad?³¹⁰⁵

  They will have no idea what you are talking about.  it would breed confussion and not knowledge.

1Co 14:24  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ prophesy,⁴³⁹⁵ and¹¹⁶¹ there come in¹⁵²⁵ one⁵¹⁰⁰ that believeth not,⁵⁷¹ or²²²⁸ one unlearned,²³⁹⁹ he is convinced¹⁶⁵¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ all,³⁹⁵⁶ he is judged³⁵⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ all:³⁹⁵⁶

and so, if we teach the word of God, line upon line as it is written, then we may convince those who are unlearned.

1Co 14:25  And²⁵³² thus³⁷⁷⁹ are the³⁵⁸⁸ secrets²⁹²⁷ of his⁸⁴⁸ heart²⁵⁸⁸ made¹⁰⁹⁶ manifest;⁵³¹⁸ and²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ falling down⁴⁰⁹⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ his face⁴³⁸³ he will worship⁴³⁵² God,²³¹⁶ and report⁵¹⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ of a truth.³⁶⁸⁹

  Now this my friends is how we want the new folk to react when they come on our group here or come upon us teaching in a church house or on the street corner.1Co 14:26  How⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ it then,³⁷⁶⁷ brethren?⁸⁰ when³⁷⁵² ye come together,⁴⁹⁰⁵ every one¹⁵³⁸ of you⁵²¹⁶ hath²¹⁹² a psalm,⁵⁵⁶⁸ hath²¹⁹² a doctrine,¹³²² hath²¹⁹² a tongue,¹¹⁰⁰ hath²¹⁹² a revelation,⁶⁰² hath²¹⁹² an interpretation.²⁰⁵⁸ Let all things³⁹⁵⁶ be done¹⁰⁹⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ edifying.³⁶¹⁹

 This is to say, we should all have the same doctrine and toung that we do not cause confussion.  And that doctrine is the doctrine is that of Jesus christ.

1Co 14:27  If¹⁵³⁵ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ speak²⁹⁸⁰ in an unknown tongue,¹¹⁰⁰ let it be by²⁵⁹⁶ two,¹⁴¹⁷ or²²²⁸ at the³⁵⁸⁸ most⁴¹¹⁸ by three,⁵¹⁴⁰ and²⁵³² that by³⁰³ course;³³¹³ and²⁵³² let one¹⁵²⁰ interpret.¹³²⁹

1Co 14:28  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ there be⁵⁶⁰⁰ no³³⁶¹ interpreter,¹³²⁸ let him keep silence⁴⁶⁰¹ in¹⁷²² the church;¹⁵⁷⁷ and¹¹⁶¹ let him speak²⁹⁸⁰ to himself,¹⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² to God.²³¹⁶

In other words, if you dont know the language of those you would teach, have an interpreter or keep your mouth shut.

1Co 14:29  Let⁽¹¹⁶¹⁾ the prophets⁴³⁹⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ or²²²⁸ three,⁵¹⁴⁰ and²⁵³² let the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁴³ judge.¹²⁵²

Dont get too much going at once friends.

1Co 14:30  ⁽¹¹⁶¹⁾ If¹⁴³⁷ any thing be revealed⁶⁰¹ to another²⁴³ that sitteth by,²⁵²¹ let the³⁵⁸⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ hold his peace.⁴⁶⁰¹

1Co 14:31  For¹⁰⁶³ ye may¹⁴¹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ prophesy⁴³⁹⁵ one by one,^{2596, 1520} that²⁴⁴³ all³⁹⁵⁶ may learn,³¹²⁹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ may be comforted.³⁸⁷⁰

1Co 14:32  And²⁵³² the spirits⁴¹⁵¹ of the prophets⁴³⁹⁶ are subject⁵²⁹³ to the prophets.⁴³⁹⁶

1Co 14:33  For¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ the author of confusion,¹⁸¹ but²³⁵ of peace,¹⁵¹⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ churches¹⁵⁷⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ saints.⁴⁰

  God is not the author of confusion, man is the author of confusion. 

1Co 14:34  Let your⁵²¹⁶ women¹¹³⁵ keep silence⁴⁶⁰¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ churches:¹⁵⁷⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ it is not³⁷⁵⁶ permitted²⁰¹⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶ to speak;²⁹⁸⁰ but²³⁵ they are commanded to be under obedience,⁵²⁹³ as²⁵³¹ also²⁵³² saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ law.³⁵⁵¹

1Co 14:35  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ they will²³⁰⁹ learn³¹²⁹ any thing,⁵¹⁰⁰ let them ask¹⁹⁰⁵ their²³⁹⁸ husbands⁴³⁵ at¹⁷²² home:³⁶²⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ it is²⁰⁷⁶ a shame¹⁴⁹ for women¹¹³⁵ to speak²⁹⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² the church.¹⁵⁷⁷

Here we must understand the customs of the times.  A woman first off, was not to have any part of the church business.  They were not to be in a place of authority over a man spiritually or otherwise.  However, It is a shameful thing for ANYBODY to speak out of turn in church or any other place of worship be they man or woman.

1Co 14:36  What?²²²⁸ came¹⁸³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ out from⁵⁷⁵ you?⁵²¹⁶ or²²²⁸ came²⁶⁵⁸ it unto¹⁵¹⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ only?³⁴⁴¹

1Co 14:37  If any man¹⁵³⁶ think himself¹³⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ a prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ or²²²⁸ spiritual,⁴¹⁵² let him acknowledge¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the things that³⁷³⁹ I write¹¹²⁵ unto you⁵²¹³ are¹⁵²⁶ the commandments¹⁷⁸⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

1Co 14:38  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ be ignorant,⁵⁰ let him be ignorant.⁵⁰

If anybody does not recognize that the words of Jesus and the apostles are the commandments of the Lord they are not of God.  And if one will try to convince you different, dont wast much of your time to teach them different where they do not want to learn.  This would be like casting your pearls before swine.

1Co 14:39  Wherefore,⁵⁶²⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ covet²²⁰⁶ to prophesy,⁴³⁹⁵ and²⁵³² forbid²⁹⁶⁷ not³³⁶¹ to speak²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues.¹¹⁰⁰

1Co 14:40  Let all things³⁹⁵⁶ be done¹⁰⁹⁶ decently²¹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² in²⁵⁹⁶ order.⁵⁰¹⁰

  And in closing, I also will say, forbid not any gift of the spirit, but keep order in our proceedings as God is the author of order, not confusion.

  God bless you all,  come back tomorrow night for another chapter in the word of God.
