    9So 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.

    10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

    11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

    12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

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

    14For if I pray in an unknown 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.

    16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

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

    1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

    2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

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

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

    5I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

    6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

    23If 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, will they not say that ye are mad?

    24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

    25And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

    26How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

    27If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; 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.
