Bible. Corinthians, 1st
014:018 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
014:019 However in the assembly I would rather speak five words
with my understanding, that I might instruct others also,
than ten thousand words in another language.
014:020 Brothers, don't be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies,
but in thoughts be mature.
014:021 In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages
and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people.
Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."{Isaiah 28:11-12}
014:022 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe,
but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign,
not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
014:023 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all
speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving
people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
014:024 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in,
he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
014:025 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will
fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God
is among you indeed.
014:026 What is it then, brothers? When you come together,
each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation,
has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things
be done to build each other up.
014:027 If any man speaks in another language, let it be two,
or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
014:028 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly,
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
014:029 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
014:030 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by,
let the first keep silent.
014:031 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn,
and all may be exhorted.
014:032 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
014:033 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.
As in all the assemblies of the saints,
014:034 let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been
permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection,
as the law also says.
014:035 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own
husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter
in the assembly.
014:036 What? Was it from you that the word of God went out?
Or did it come to you alone?
014:037 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they
are the commandment of the Lord.
014:038 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
014:039 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't
forbid speaking with other languages.
