    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 mad?

    24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is judged 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? When 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 an unknown tongue, let it be by two or at the most by three, and each in turn, and let one interpret.

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

    4He who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
