    1¶ Follow 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.

    6¶ Now, 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?

    7And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

    8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

    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.

    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?

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

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

    19Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.

    20Brethren, 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 unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

    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.

    26¶ How 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.
