    1Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

    2For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

    3But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

    4He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

    5Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

    6But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

    23If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

    24But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

    25The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.

    26What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

    27If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

    28But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

    29And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

    30But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet.
