    9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will speak into the air.

    10 There are, perhaps, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.

    11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks shall be a foreigner to me.

    12 Even so you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel to the edification of the church.

    13 Therefore, let him who speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

    14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

    15 What 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.

    16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not understand what you say?

    1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

    2 For he who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no man understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

    3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for edification, exhortation, and comfort.

    4 He who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

    5 I wish that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied; for greater is he who prophesies than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

    23 Therefore, if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?

    24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all.

    25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

    26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

    27 If anyone speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two or at the most by three, and each in turn, and let one interpret.

    28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
