δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

δὲ de “now”

whereas our comely [ergänzt: parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [ergänzt: part] which lacked;

δὲ de “and”

Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

δέ de “now”

But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.

δὲ de “however”

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

δὲ de “however”

And if I have [ergänzt: the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

δὲ de “however”

And if I bestow all my goods to feed [ergänzt: the poor], and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

δὲ de “however”

rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;

δὲ de “however”

Love never faileth: but whether [ergänzt: there be] prophecies, they shall be done away; whether [ergänzt: there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [ergänzt: there be] knowledge, it shall be done away.

δὲ de “however”

but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

δὲ de “however”

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.

δὲ de “now”

For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [ergänzt: gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

δὲ de “however”

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.

δὲ de “however”

He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

δὲ de “however”

Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

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

δέ, de “however”

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

δὲ de “but”

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

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

δὲ de “however”

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [ergänzt: is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.

δὲ de “but”

If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?
