1 Korintus 11:4-5

11:4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered disgraces his head. 11:5 But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

1 Korintus 13:9

13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,

1 Korintus 14:1

Prophecy and Tongues

14:1 Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

1 Korintus 14:3-5

14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, ¹  encouragement, and consolation. 14:4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, ²  but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 14:5 I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

1 Korintus 14:24

14:24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

1 Korintus 14:31

14:31 For you can all prophesy one after another, so all can learn and be encouraged.

1 Korintus 14:39

14:39 So then, brothers and sisters, ³  be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues. ⁴ 

[14:3]  ¹ tn Grk “edification.”

[14:4]  ² sn The Greek term builds (himself) up does not necessarily bear positive connotations in this context.

[14:39]  ³ tc ‡ μου (mou, “my”) is found after ἀδελφοί (adelfoi) in a number of significant witnesses (א A B* D¹ 048 326 1175 2464 al), but lacking in most other witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ B² D* F G Ψ 0243 33 1739 1881 Ï lat). Every other time Paul says “So then, brothers (and sisters)” he adds “my” (ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου; {wste, adelfoi mou). There is no good reason why scribes would intentionally omit “my” here but not elsewhere. Thus, the longer reading is in conformity with Paul’s general style and as such seems to be scribally motivated. NA²⁷ has the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[14:39]  tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[14:39]  ⁴ tn Grk “speaking in tongues.” The words “anyone from” are supplied for the sake of clarity.
