1 Corinthians 14:20-28

20Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.

21In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord.

22Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

23Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.

25And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

26How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

27If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.

28But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
