G2532–καί–kai

How then does the matter stand? I will pray in spirit, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will praise God in spirit, and I will praise Him with my understanding also.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding--so as to instruct others also--than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

καὶ kai “also”

In the Law it stands written, "`By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord."

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

καὶ kai “and”

and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “And”

If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.

καὶ kai “and”

But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

καὶ kai “and”

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged:

καὶ kai “and”

and the spirits of Prophets yield submission to Prophets.

καὶ kai “And”

Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;

καὶ kai “also”

The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

καὶ kai “and”

only let everything be done in a becoming and orderly manner.

καὶ kai “and”

But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing,

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it--unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first.

καὶ kai “also”

For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures;

καὶ kai “also”

that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve.

καὶ kai “and”

Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep.

καὶ kai “and”

But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest--yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me.

καὶ kai “and”

But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

καὶ kai “and”

And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised.

καὶ kai “also”

It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

καὶ kai “also”

For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.
