    17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

    18I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:

    19howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

    20Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

    21In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.

    22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.

    23If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?

    24But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;

    25the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

    26What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

    27If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret:

    28but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

    1Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.

    2For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

    3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.

    4He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

    5Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

    6But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

    7Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

    8For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

    9So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.

    10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification.

    11If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.

    12So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.

    13Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

    14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

    15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
