For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, ch. 13. 2. & 13 are one body: Yso also is Christ. For by one Spirit r are we all baptized into one body, a whether we Jews or 3 Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; 14 bhave been all made to drink into one Spirit. For 15 body is not one member, but many. If the foot say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of 16 body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the 4, 5. Eph. 17 body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole y ver. 27. body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the z Rom. 6. 5. 18 whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

For he that speak-b Num. 11. eth in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but e Acts 2. 4. unto God: for no man understandeth him; how3 beit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and ex4 hortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophe5 sieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may 6 receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by drevelation, or by know- d ver. 26. 7 ledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the 4 sounds, how 8 shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare 9 himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into 10 the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
