1 Corinthians 14:20-28

201BrethrenG80, 2do not be childrenG3813 in your thinkingG5424; yetG235 in evilG2549 3be infantsG3515, but in your thinkingG5424 be matureG5046. 21In 4the LawG3551 it is writtenG1125, “5By menG2084 of strangeG2084 tonguesG2084 and by the lipsG5491 of strangersG2087 I will speakG2980 to thisG3778 peopleG2992, and evenG3761 soG3779 they will not listenG1522 to Me,” saysG3004 the LordG2962. 22SoG5620 thenG5620 tonguesG1100 are for a signG4592, not to thoseG3588 who believeG4100 but to unbelieversG571; but 6prophecyG4394 is for a sign, not to unbelieversG571 but to thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 assemblesG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846 and allG3956 speakG2980 in tonguesG1100, and 7ungiftedG2399 menG2399 orG2228 unbelieversG571 enterG1525, will they not sayG3004 that 8you are madG3105? 24But ifG1437 allG3956 9prophesyG4395, and an unbelieverG571 orG2228 an 10ungiftedG2399 manG2399 entersG1525, he is 11convictedG1651 by allG3956, he is calledG350 to accountG350 by allG3956; 2512the secretsG2927 of his heartG2588 are disclosedG5318; and soG3779 he will 13fallG4098 on his faceG4383 and worshipG4352 GodG2316, 14declaringG518 that GodG2316 is certainlyG3689 amongG1722 you.

2615WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767, 16brethrenG80? WhenG3752 you assembleG4905, 17eachG1538 oneG1538 hasG2192 a 18psalmG5568, hasG2192 a 19teachingG1322, hasG2192 a 20revelationG602, hasG2192 a 21tongueG1100, hasG2192 an 22interpretationG2058. Let 23allG3956 thingsG3956 be doneG1096 for edificationG3619. 27IfG1535 anyoneG5100 speaksG2980 in a 24tongueG1100, it should be by twoG1417 orG2228 at the mostG4183 threeG5140, and each in turnG3313, and oneG1520 must 25interpretG1329; 28but ifG1437 there is noG3361 interpreterG1328, he must keepG4601 silentG4601 in the churchG1577; and let him speakG2980 to himselfG1438 and to GodG2316.
