20 Brethren, be not chyldren in wytte: Howbeit, as concerning maliciousnesse, be chyldren: but in wytte, be perfect
21 In the lawe it is written: With sundry tongues, and with sundry lyppes, wyll I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde
22 Wherfore, tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleue, but to them that beleue not: But prophesiyng [serueth] not for them that beleue not, but for them which beleue
23 If therfore, when all the Churche is come together in one, & all speake with tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: wyll they not say yt ye are out of your wittes
24 But yf all prophesie, and there come in one ye beleueth not, or one vnlearned: he is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of euery man
25 And so are the secretes of his heart made manifest, and so falleth he downe on his face, and worshippeth God, and sayth that God is in you of a trueth
26 Howe is it then brethren? When ye come together, euery one of you hath a psalme, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a reuelation, hath interpretation. Let all thynges be done vnto edifiyng
27 Yf any man speake with tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interprete
28 But yf there be no interpreter, let him kepe scilence in the Churche, and let him speake to hym selfe, and to God
29 Let the prophetes speake two or three, and let the other iudge
30 If any reuelation be made to another that sitteth by, let ye first holde his peace
31 For ye may all prophesie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort
32 And the spirites of the prophetes, are subiect to the prophetes
33 For God is not [the aucthour] of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of the saintes
34 Let your women kepe scilence in the Churches: For it is not permitted vnto them to speake, but to be vnder obedience, as sayth the lawe
35 If they wyll learne any thyng, let the aske their husbandes at home: For it is a shame for women to speake in the Churche
36 Sproung the worde of God from you? Either came it vnto you only
37 If any man thynke hym selfe to be a prophete, either spiritual, let him knowe that the thinges that I write vnto you, are ye commaundementes of the Lorde
38 But yf any man be ignoraunt, let hym be ignoraunt
39 Wherfore brethren, couet to prophesie, and forbyd not to speake with tongues
40 Let all thynges be done honestlie and in order
