    23So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

    24But if everyone is prophesying and an unbeliever or uninitiated person enters, they are convicted of sin by all and are examined by all.

    25The secrets of their heart are revealed, and they will fall facedown and worship God, exclaiming, 'God is truly among you!'

    26What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.

    27If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, each in turn, and let someone interpret.

    28But if there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep silent in the church and speak to themselves and to God.

    2For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, because no one understands; they speak mysteries by the Spirit.

    4The one who speaks in a tongue builds up themselves, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
