God’s Word Translation
1 Corinthians 14:23-28
23Suppose the whole congregation gathers in the same place and you speak in other languages. When outsiders or unbelievers come in, won’t they say that you’re out of your mind?
24Now suppose you speak what God has revealed. When unbelievers or outsiders come in you will show them where they are wrong and convince them that they are sinners.
25The secrets in their hearts will become known, and in this way they will quickly bow with their faces touching the ground, worship God, and confess that God is truly among you.
26So what does this mean, brothers and sisters? When you gather, each person has a psalm, doctrine, revelation, another language, or an interpretation. Everything must be done to help each other grow.
27If people speak in other languages, only two or three at the most should speak. They should do it one at a time, and someone must interpret what each person says.
28But if an interpreter isn’t present, those people should remain silent in church. They should only speak to themselves and to God.
