Haweis(i)
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."
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.
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 is a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that the things which I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done with propriety, and orderly.
