014:016 Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean? 014:017 Rightly enough you are giving thanks, and yet your neighbor is not benefited. 014:018 I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you; 014:019 but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding--so as to instruct others also--than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 014:020 Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years. 014:021 In the Law it stands written, "`By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord." 014:022 This shows that the gift of tongues is intended as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but prophecy is intended not for unbelievers but for those who believe. 014:023 Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad? 014:024 If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all, 014:025 and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you. 014:026 What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character. 014:027 If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret; 014:028 or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God. 014:029 But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge. 014:030 And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent. 014:031 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged: 014:032 and the spirits of Prophets yield submission to Prophets. 014:033 For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as He is in all the Churches of His people. 014:034 Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;
