[20] Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. [21] In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak people; and yet for all not hear saith the Lord. [22] Wherefore tongues 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, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, not say that ye are mad? [24] But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: [25] And thus the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God in of a truth. [26] How then, brethren? when ye come together, every one hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. all things be done unto edifying. [27] If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and one interpret. [28] But interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. [29] the prophets speak two or three, and the other judge. [30] If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, the first hold his peace. [31] For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. [32] And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. [33] For God not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [34] women keep silence in the churches: for not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for for women to speak in the church. [36] What? the word of God out from or came it unto only? [37] think himself a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write the commandments of the Lord. [38] But be ignorant, [39] Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. [40] all things be done decently and in order.
