    21It is written in the law:“By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,” says the Lord.

    22So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

    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?

    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.

    29Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.

    30And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.

    31For you can all prophesy one after another, so all can learn and be encouraged.

    32Indeed, the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

    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?

    7It is similar for lifeless things that make a sound, like a flute or harp. Unless they make a distinction in the notes, how can what is played on the flute or harp be understood?

    8If, for example, the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will get ready for battle?

    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?

    17For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.

    36Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?

    37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

    38If someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

    39So then, brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.

    40And do everything in a decent and orderly manner.
