The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(13)Wherefore let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he
may interpret. (14)For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. (15)What then? I will pray
with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also; I will
sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
(16)Else, if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that
occupies the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of
thanks, since he knows not what thou sayest? (17)For thou indeed
givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
(18)I thank God, I speak with tongues more than ye all. (19)Yet in the
church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I
may also instruct others, than ten thousand words in an unknown
tongue.
(20)Brethren, be not children in your understandings; but in malice be
as children, but in your understandings be men.
(21)In the law it is written:
For with men of other tongues, and with strange lips,
I will speak to this people;
And not even so will they hearken to me, saith the Lord.
(22)So that the tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but
to the unbelieving; but prophesying is not for the unbelieving, but
for those who believe.
(23)If therefore the whole church is come together into one place, and
all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or
unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? (24)But if all
prophesy, and there come in one that is an unbeliever, or unlearned,
he is convicted by all, he is judged by all. (25)The secrets of his
heart are made manifest; and so falling on his face he will worship
God, reporting that God is in truth among you.
(26)How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each of you has a
psalm, has an instruction, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an
interpretation. Let all things be done to edification. (27)If any one
speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by
three, and in turn; and let one interpret. (28)But if there be no
interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to
himself, and to God.
(29)And of prophets, let two or three speak, and the others judge.
(30)But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first
be silent. (31)For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn,
and all be comforted. (32)And the spirits of the prophets are subject
to the prophets. (33)For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace,
as in all churches of the saints.
(34)Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not
permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the
law also says. (35)And if they wish to learn anything, let them ask
their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the
church.
