1 Corinthians 14:26

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

    12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

    13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

    14 For if I pray in another language, 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 fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't know what you say?

    17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

    24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

    25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
