In ^(C1)the ^(F1)Law it is written: "^(C2)BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but ^(C1)prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

Therefore if the whole church gathers together and all the people speak in tongues, and ^(F1)outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that ^(C1)you are insane?

But if all ^(C1)prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ^(F1)outsider enters, he is ^(C2)convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

^(C1)the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will ^(C2)fall on his face and worship God, ^(C3)declaring that God is certainly among you.
