1 Corinthians 14:23-28

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.”

26What 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.
