ou sayest? (17)For thou
indeed givest thanks to God well, but another man is not edified by it.
(18)I thank my God, that I speak with different tongues more than you
all: (19)but in the church I had rather speak five words with my
understanding, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words
in an unknown tongue.

(20)Brethren, be not children in your minds: though in naughtiness be
ye children, but in your minds be men complete. (21)In the law it is
written, "That with other tongues, and with other lips, will I speak to
this people: and even thus will they not attend to me, saith the
Lord[99]." (22)Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to those that
believe, but to those who do not believe: but the gift of prophecy is
not for those who are infidels, but for believers. (23)If then the
whole church assemble together in the same place, and all speak
different tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels,
will they not say ye are mad? (24)But if all prophesy, and any infidel
or illiterate person come in, he receives conviction from all, he is
judged of all: (25)and thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest;
and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, declaring that
God verily is among you.

(26)How comes it then, brethren, that when ye assemble together, every
one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a
revelation, hath an interpretation? Let all things be done to
edification. (27)If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by
two, or at most by three, and one after another; and let one interpret.
(28)But if there be not an interpreter, let him be silent in the
church; but let him speak to himself and to God. (29)Let the prophets
two or three speak, and let the others judge. (30)But if any thing
should be revealed to one sitting by, let the first be silent. (31)For
ye may 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 the author of confusion, but of peace, as
in all the churches of his saints.

(34)Let your women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted
to them to speak: but to be in subjection, as also the law saith[100].
(35)But if they will learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands
at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. (36)Went
the word of God from you? or came it unto you only? (37)If any man
thinketh that he
