1 Corinthians 14:18-29

18I thankG2168 1GodG2316 I speakG2980 in a tongueG1100 moreG3123 than all of you:

19but in [the] assemblyG1577 I desireG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my understandingG3563, that I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, [ratherG235] than tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.

20Brethren, be not childrenG3813 in [your] minds, but in maliceG2549 be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men].

21It is writtenG1125 in the lawG3551, By peopleG2992 of otherG2087 tongues, and by strange lipsG5491, will I speakG2980 to this peopleG2992; and neither thusG3779 will they hear me, saith the LordG2962.

22So that tonguesG1100 areG1510 for a signG4592, not to those who believeG4100, but to unbelieversG571; but prophecyG4394, not to unbelieversG571, but to those who believeG4100.

23If thereforeG3767 the wholeG3650 assemblyG1577 comeG1525 togetherG4905 in oneG3588 place, and all speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, and simple [persons] enterG1525 in, or unbelieversG571, will not they sayG3004 ye are mad?

24But if all prophesyG4395, and some unbelieverG571 or simple [person] comeG1525 in, he is convictedG1651 of all, he is judged of all;

25the secretsG2927 of his heartG2588 areG1510 manifested; and thusG3779, fallingG4098 upon [his] faceG4383, he will do homage to 2GodG2316, reporting that 3GodG2316 isG1510 indeed amongst you.

26What isG1510 it thenG3767, brethren? wheneverG3752 ye comeG1096 togetherG4905, each [of you] has a psalmG5568, has a teachingG1322, has a tongueG1100, has a revelationG602, has an interpretationG2058. Let all thingsG3956 beG1510 done to edificationG3619.

27If any oneG1520 speakG2980 with a tongueG1100, [let it be] twoG1417, or at the most threeG5140, and separately, and let oneG1520 interpretG1329;

28but if there beG1510 no interpreter, let him beG1510 silentG4601 in [the] assemblyG1577, and let him speakG2980 to himself and to 4GodG2316.

29And let twoG1417 or threeG5140 prophetsG4396 speakG2980, and let the othersG243 judge.
