1 Corinthians 14

¹⁴Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.

³⁹So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

¹⁴Do everything in love.

²⁰Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

¹Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

¹⁴Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

⁶And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

⁴⁶For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

¹⁰But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

¹³Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.

¹²It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

²⁰But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

²Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.

²²I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

¹⁹So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

²²Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

¹⁷You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.

¹⁸I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁵I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

¹⁰to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

²⁸And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

²⁹Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

¹If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

²⁸Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”

²⁹But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would place His Spirit on them!”

¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁴The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

¹⁷that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

¹⁷But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

¹Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

⁹Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.

¹⁸But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

¹If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

⁸Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?

²“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

³When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

¹⁷‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

³²They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

⁹When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God and saved from your enemies.

³and he sees the sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people.

⁴Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

¹⁹My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. For I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle.

¹Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; indeed, it is near—

⁶If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?

²⁴Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.

²⁵At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shouts of captains and the cry of war.

²⁶Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.

²The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold.

¹⁴I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

⁴When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”

²¹It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

¹¹Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

³¹But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁴The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

¹Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

⁷Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

¹⁴He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

²⁴Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

¹³And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

³⁰Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

¹⁴With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

²⁷If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.

²⁸But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.

¹⁰to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

²For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

¹⁵What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

¹⁶Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

¹⁹But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

¹⁶Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

¹⁸Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

²³But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

²⁴God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

¹⁷Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

¹⁸Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

²⁰But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

¹Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

²Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

³⁶Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the Lord!”

⁴⁸Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!

¹⁴And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

¹⁵‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved idol or molten image—an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of a craftsman—and sets it up in secret.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

¹⁶‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

⁶Then Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and with their hands uplifted, all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

²⁴and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

⁴The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

⁶Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

⁴I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

⁵For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,

⁷For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

²¹It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

²²Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

⁴The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

²Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.

¹⁹Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

³“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁸But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

⁶Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

¹¹Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people

¹²to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.

¹⁵Behold, I am bringing a distant nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord. “It is an established nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know and whose speech you do not understand.

⁴⁹The Lord will bring a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down upon you like an eagle—a nation whose language you will not understand,

⁶And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

⁷Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

⁹We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,

¹Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

³²God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

³³Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

¹³But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

¹⁸First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

²⁰Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

²⁴At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”

⁷The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived—let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.

¹²For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹³Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

³⁷When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

¹⁵The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

²⁹“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

⁴⁷When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”

⁴⁸“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”

¹⁴This is what the Lord says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

²³This is what the Lord of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

¹¹May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

¹⁶He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

⁸When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

¹⁴The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,

¹⁹So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

⁷Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

⁸To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

¹¹Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

¹⁶From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

¹²It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

¹³Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

¹⁰to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁹Do not extinguish the Spirit.

²⁰Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

¹Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

²By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

³⁹So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

¹⁹Do not extinguish the Spirit.

²⁰Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

³¹Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.

³²But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.

¹¹Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

¹⁵Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.

¹⁶Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?

⁶Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

¹⁴And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.

¹¹Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

⁵let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel

³⁵If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

⁹Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.

¹Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

¹⁹But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

²⁰For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

²⁹Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

³⁰And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.

⁵Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”

¹⁰When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.

¹¹When all those who had formerly known Saul saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

³Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”

¹⁷But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.

¹⁸Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.

⁴⁰But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.

¹⁶Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹⁶If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

²⁰Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,

¹¹A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

¹²I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

¹⁶To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

³And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge,

⁴and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

¹⁸Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

³⁵If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

⁵to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

⁷Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

¹²For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

²⁶to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

¹⁴Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

⁶If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

³⁴Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

⁸And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, in summer and winter alike.

¹After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

²There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,

⁸For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

³And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

¹When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

⁷For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

⁶We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

⁷You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.

²by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

¹⁷But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ

¹Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.

²For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

²The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

³For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

⁴So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

³If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,

⁴he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,

⁶Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

¹¹Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”

¹²“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.

¹⁷Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!

¹⁴Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

³¹But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.

¹Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

²⁰Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

²⁴But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,

²⁵and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”

⁵I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁵For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

⁵The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

²⁷If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.

³⁴If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

¹³Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
