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

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

    14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, 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.

    16Otherwise, 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?

    17For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

    18I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all;

    19Yet in the church, I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

    20Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be infants, but in understanding be mature.

    22Therefore, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to those who do not believe; but prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

    23Therefore, 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?

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

    25And 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.
