In this section Paul instructed the Corinthian believers about how they should worship God together. First, he compared prophecy and tongues. He stressed the value of prophecy for building up the church. Then he said they should conduct their worship services in an orderly and harmonious way. They were not to speak all at once. People who spoke in tongues should have someone to interpret, and women were to remain silent in the assembly.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Good order in worship
The spiritual gifts of prophecy and tongues
Use spiritual gifts to help the church grow
In this paragraph Paul discussed the importance of using one’s understanding while worshiping God. He told people who speak in tongues in church to interpret what they say, so that other people can understand and benefit from it.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
I thank God that I speak in unknown tongues more than any of you(plur) do.
I thank God that he has given me the gift of unknown/miraculous languages, even more than he has to you.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you:Some Greek manuscripts read, “I thank my God.” The KJV follows these manuscripts. It is recommended that you follow the majority of English versions and older Greek manuscripts that say, “I thank God.” Paul used this phrase to set up the contrast he will make in 14:19. First he expressed his approval of the gift of tongues. He indicated that he himself had and used the gift of tongues.
Here is another way to translate this clause:
I thank God that I speak unknown languages more than any of you (CEV)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
πάντων ὑμῶν
all ˱of˲_you_all
Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (speak in tongues). If your language does need these words, you could supply them from that clause. Alternate translation: [all of you speak in tongues]
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
