1 Corinthians 14:1-25 "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual..." KJV - Online Bible Study Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy . 2 For he thatspeaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandethhim; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men toedification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifiethhimself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, butrather that ye prophesied : for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues,except he interpret , that the church may receive edifying. 6 Now, brethren, if I come unto youspeaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or byknowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 7 And even things without life giving sound,whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what ispiped or harped ? 8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to thebattle? 9 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 the air. 10 There are , it may be , so many kindsof voices in the world, and none of them is without signification . 11 Therefore if I know not themeaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tonguepray that he may interpret . 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth , but myunderstanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with theunderstanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 16 Elsewhen thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned sayAmen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest ? 17 For thou verilygivest thanks well, but the other is not edified . 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more thanye all: 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 20 Brethren, be notchildren in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children , but in understanding be men. 21 Inthe law it is written , With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe , but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,but for them which believe . 23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, andall speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they notsay that ye are mad ? 24 But if all prophesy , and there come in one that believeth not, or oneunlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25 And thus are the secrets of his heartmade manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in youof a truth.

Inspired
I allow my divine inner wisdom its full expression.
Inspiration is always available to me. To feel inspired, I can discuss stimulating ideas with friends, listen to music, or stroll through an art gallery. Likewise, I can gain inspiration from reading a thought-provoking book, allowing my thoughts to wander, or sitting in quiet meditation. Whether I am praying, spending time with loved ones, or communing with nature, my open and receptive mind invites divinely inspired ideas.
Feelings of divine discontent may also inspire me to make changes and grow as I strive to reach my full potential. Creative inspiration may produce a song, a book or a painting. When I embrace and allow full expression of my divine inner wisdom, I am inspired.
I will lead the blind by a road they do not know. --Isaiah 42:16

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 "Though I speak with the tongues of men..." KJV - Online Bible Study Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned , and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long , and is kind ; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself , is not puffed up , 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly , seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked , thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away . 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come , then that which is in part shall be done away . 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known . 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
