1 Corinthians 11:24-14:40 & gaue thankes, and brake it, and sayde: Take ye, & eate ye, this is my body, which is broken for you. This do in the remembraunce of me.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ & gaue thankes, and brake it, and sayde: Take ye, & eate ye, this is my body, which is broken for you. This do in the remembraunce of me. ²⁵ After the same maner also he toke ye cuppe whan supper was done, and sayde: This cuppe is the new Testament in my bloude, this do (as oft as ye drynke it) in the remebrauce of me. ²⁶ For as oft as ye shal eate of this bred, & drynke of this cuppe, ye shal shewe the LORDES death, vntyll he come. ²⁷ Wherfore who soeuer shal eate off this bred, and drynke off this cuppe of the LORDE vnworthely, shalbe giltye of the body and bloude of the LORDE. ²⁸ But let a man examen himselfe, and so let him eate of this bred, and drynke of this cuppe. ²⁹ For he that eateth and drynketh vnworthely, eateth & drynketh his awne damnacion, because he maketh no differece of the LORDES body. ³⁰ Therfore are there so many weake and sicke amoge you, and many slepe. ³¹ For yf we iudged oure selues, we shulde not be iudged. ³² But whan we are iudged, we are chastened of ye LORDE, that we shulde not be daned with the worlde. ³³ Wherfore my brethren, whan ye come together to eate, tary one for another. ³⁴ But yf eny man honger, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto codempnacion. As for other thinges, I wil set them in order whan I come. ¹² ¹ As concernynge spirituall giftes (brethren) I wolde not that ye were ignoraunt. ² Ye knowe that ye were Heythe and wente youre wayes vnto dome Idols, eue as ye were led. ³ Wherfore I declare vnto you, that no man speakynge thorow the sprete of God, defyeth Iesus. And no man can saye that Iesus is the LORDE, but by the holy goost. ⁴ There are dyuerse giftes, yet but one sprete: ⁵ and there are dyuerse offices, yet but one LORDE: ⁶ and there are dyuerse operacions yet is there but one God, which worketh all in all. ⁷ The giftes of the sprete are geuen vnto euery man to profit the cogregacion. ⁸ To one is geuen thorow the sprete the vtteraunce of wissdome: to another is geuen the vtteraunce of knowlege acordinge to the same sprete: ⁹ to another, faith in the same sprete: to another, the giftes of healinge in the same sprete: ¹⁰ to another, power to do miracles: to another, prophecienge: to another, iudgment to discerne spretes: to another, dyuerse tunges: to another, the interpretacion of tunges. ¹¹ These all doth ye same onely sprete worke, and distributeth vnto euery man, acordinge as he will. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath yet many membres, neuertheles all the membres of the body though they be many, are yet but one body: euen so Christ also. ¹³ For we are all baptysed in one sprete to be one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyles, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all dronke of one sprete. ¹⁴ For the body also is not one membre, but many. ¹⁵ Yf the fote saye: I am not ye hande, therfore am I not a membre of the body,is he therfore not a membre of ye body? ¹⁶ And yf the eare saye: I am not the eye, therfore am I not a membre of the body, is he therfore not a membre of the body? ¹⁷ Yf all the body were an eye, where were then the hearinge? Yf all were hearinge, where then the smellinge? ¹⁸ But now hath God set the membres, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased him. ¹⁹ Neuertheles yf all the mebres were one membre, where were then the body? ²⁰ But now are the membres many, yet is the body but one. ²¹ The eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the: or agayne the heade vnto the fete, I haue no nede of you: ²² but rather a greate deale the mebres of the body which seme to be most feble, are most necessary: ²³ and vpon those membres of the body which we thinke least honest, put we most honestie on: and oure vncomly partes haue most beutye on. ²⁴ For oure honest membres neade it not. But God hath so measured ye body, and geuen most honoure vnto that mebre which had nede, ²⁵ that there shulde be no stryfe in the body, but that the membres shulde indifferently care one for another. And yf one membre suffre, all the membres suffre with him: ²⁶ and yf one membre be had in honoure, all the membres are glad with him also. ²⁷ But ye are the body of Christ, and membres, euery one of another. ²⁸ And God hath ordeyned in the congregacion, first the Apostles, secodly prophetes, thirdly teachers, then doers of miracles, after that the giftes of healinge, helpers, gouerners, dyuerse tunges. ²⁹ Are they all Apostles? Are they all prophetes? Are they all teachers? Are they all doers of miracles? ³⁰ Haue they all the giftes of healinge? Speake they all with tunges? Can they all interprete? ³¹ But covet ye the best giftes. And yet shewe I you a more excellent waye. ¹³ ¹ Though I spake with the tunges of men and angels, and yet had not loue, I were euen as sowndinge brasse, or as a tynklinge Cymball. ² And though I coulde prophecy, & vnderstode all secretes, and all knowlege, and had all faith, so that I coulde moue moutaynes out of their places, and yet had not loue, I were nothinge. ³ And though I bestowed all my goodes to fede ye poore, and though I gaue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue not loue, it profiteth me nothinge. ⁴ Loue is pacient & curteous, loue envyeth not, loue doth not frowardly, is not puft vp, dealeth not dishonestly, ⁵ seketh not hir awne, is not prouoked vnto anger, thynketh not euell, ⁶ reioyseth not ouer iniquyte, but reioyseth in the trueth, ⁷ beareth all thinges, beleueth all thinges, hopeth all thinges, suffreth all thinges. ⁸ Though prophecienges fayle, or tunges ceasse, or knowlege perishe, yet loue falleth neuer awaye. ⁹ For oure knowlege is vnparfecte, and oure prophecienge is vnparfecte. ¹⁰ But wha that which is perfecte, commeth, then shal the vnparfecte be done awaye. ¹¹ Whan I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstode as a childe, I ymagined as a childe. But as soone as I was a man, I put awaye childishnes. ¹² Now we se thorow a glasse in a darke speakynge, but the shal we se face to face. Now I knowe vnperfectly: but the shal I knowe eue as I am knowne. ¹³ Now abydeth faith, hope, loue, these thre: but the greatest of these is loue. ¹⁴ ¹ Laboure for loue. Couet spirituall giftes, but specially that ye maye prophecye. ² For he yt speaketh with tunges, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him. Howbeit in ye sprete he speaketh misteries. ³ But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto men to edifienge, & to exhortacion, and to coforte. ⁴ He that speaketh with tunges, edifieth himselfe: but he that prophecieth, edifieth the cogregacion. ⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tunges, but rather that ye prophecied. For greater is he that prophecieth, then he that speaketh wt tuges: excepte he also expounde it, that the congregacion maye haue edifienge. ⁶ But now brethren yf I come vnto you, and speake with tunges, what shal I profet you, excepte I speake vnto you ether by reuelacion or by knowlege, or by prophecienge, or by doctryne? ⁷ Likewyse is it also in ye thinges that geue sounde, and yet lyue not: whether it be a pype or an harpe, excepte they geue distyncte soundes from them, how shal it be knowne what is pyped or harped? ⁸ And yf the trope geue an vncertayne sounde, who wil prepare himselfe to the battayll? ⁹ Euen so ye likewyse, whan ye speake with tunges, excepte ye speake playne wordes, how shal it be knowne what is spoke? for ye shal but speake in ye ayre. ¹⁰ So many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde, and none of them is without significacion. ¹¹ Yf I knowe not now what ye voyce meaneth, I shalbe an aleaunt vnto him that speaketh: & he that speaketh, shalbe an aleaut vnto me. ¹² Eue so ye (for so moch as ye couet spirituall giftes (seke yt ye maye haue plentye to the edifienge of the congregacion. ¹³ Wherfore let him that speaketh wt tunges, praye, that he maye interprete also. ¹⁴ Yf I praye with tunges, my sprete prayeth, but my vnderstodinge bryngeth no man frute. ¹⁵ How shal it be then? Namely thus: I wil praye with ye sprete, and wil praye with the vnderstodinge also: I wil synge psalmes in the sprete, and wil synge spalmes with ye vnderstondinge also. ¹⁶ But whan thou geuest thankes with ye sprete, how shal he that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned, saye Ame at thy geuynge of thankes, seynge he knoweth not what thou sayest? ¹⁷ Thou geuest well thankes, but the other is not edifyed. ¹⁸ I thanke my God, that I speake with tunges more then ye all. ¹⁹ Yet had I leuer in the cogregacion to speake fyue wordes with my vnderstondinge yt I maye enfourme other also, rather then ten thousande wordes with tunges. ²⁰ Brethren be not children in vnderstondinge, howbeit as concerninge maliciousnes be childre, but in vnderstondinge be parfecte. ²¹ In the lawe it is wrytten: With other tunges and with other lippes wyl I speake vnto this people, and yet shal they not so heare me, sayeth the LORDE ²² Therfore are tunges for a token, not to the that beleue, but to them that beleue not. Contrary wyse, prophecienge, not to them that beleue not, but to them which beleue. ²³ Yf the whole cogregacion now came together in to one place, & spake all with tunges, and there came in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not, shulde they not saye, that ye were out of youre wyttes? ²⁴ But yff all prophecied, and there came in one yt beleueth not, or one vnlerned, he shulde be rebuked of them all, and iudged of all, ²⁵ and so shulde the secrete of his hert be opened, and so shulde he fall downe vpon his face, worshippinge God, and knowleginge, that of a trueth God is in you. ²⁶ How is it then brethren? Whan ye come together, euery one hath a psalme, hath doctryne, hath a tunge, hath a reuelacion, hath an interpretacion. Let all be done to edifyenge. ²⁷ Yf eny ma speake with tunges, let him do it him selfe beynge the seconde, or at the most him selfe beynge ye thirde, and one after another, and let one interprete it. ²⁸ But yf there be not an interpreter, then let him kepe sylence in the congregacion, howbeit let him speake to himselfe and to God. ²⁹ As for the prophetes, let two or thre speake and let the other iudge. ³⁰ But yf eny reuelacion be made vnto another that sytteth, then let the first holde his peace. ³¹ Ye maye all prophecye one after another that they all maye lerne, and that all maye haue comforte. ³² And the spretes of the prophetes are subiecte vnto the prophetes. ³³ For God is not a God off discension, but off peace, like as in all congregacions off the sayntes. ³⁴ Let youre wyues kepe sylence in the cogregacion, for it shal not be permytted vnto the to speake, but to be vnder obedience, as ye lawe sayeth also. ³⁵ But yf they wyll lerne eny thinge, let them axe their hussbades at home. For it becommeth not weme to speake in the congregacion. ³⁶ Or spronge the worde of God from amonge you? Or is it come vnto you onely? ³⁷ Yf eny man thynke himselfe to be a prophet, or spirituall, let him knowe what I wryte vnto you, for they are the commaundementes of the LORDE. ³⁸ But yf eny man be ignoraunt, let him be ignoraunt. ³⁹ Wherfore brethren, couet to prophecye, and forbyd not to speake with tunges. ⁴⁰ Let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
