⁴ He who speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he who prophesieth, edifieth a congregation. ⁵ Now I wish you all to speak with tongues; but much rather that you should prophesy: For he who prophesieth is greater than he who speaketh with tongues, unless some one interpret, that the congregation may be edified. ⁶ For instance, should I, brethren, come to you, speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I explain to you what I say, be it either a revelation, or science, or a prophecy, or a doctrine. ⁷ In like manner with regard to inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or kithara, unless they produce distinct notes, how can it be known what that is, which is played on the pipe or kithara. ⁸ For if even a trumpet give an undistinguishable sound who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So also with regard to you, unless you utter with the tongue a discourse of a clear signification, how can that which is spoken be known?

But prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for them who believe. ²³ If therefore the whole congregation assemble and all speak with unknown tongues, and there should come in any uninstructed persons or unbelievers, would they not say that you are raving? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and any unbeliever or uninstructed person come in, he is convicted by all; examined by all; ²⁵ and thus the secrets of his heart are laid open, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed among you. ²⁶ What then, brethren, is to be done? When you come together every one of you hath a psalm; hath a doctrine; hath a strange tongue; hath a revelation; hath an interpretation; let all be for edification;
