    9It is the same for you. If you do not speak clearly with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

    10There are probably many kinds of languages in the world, and none is without meaning.

    11If then I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

    12It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.

    13So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

    14If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.

    15What should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.

    16Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift say“Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

    1Prophecy and Tongues Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

    2For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.

    3But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

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

    5I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

    6Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

    23So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?

    24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

    25The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and in this way he will fall down with his face to the ground and worship God, declaring,“God is really among you.”

    26Church Order What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

    27If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.

    28But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.
