21. in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'
22. so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy [is] not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,
23. If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24. and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,
25. and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
26. What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;
27. if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;
28. and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.
29. And prophets--let two or three speak, and let the others discern,
30. and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent;
31. for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,
32. and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,
33. for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
34. Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;
35. and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.
36. From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come?
37. if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you--that of the Lord they are commands;
38. and if any one is ignorant--let him be ignorant;
