    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.

    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.
