7 wTo each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.
12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up.
20 Brothers, hdo not be children in your thinking. iBe infants in evil, but in your thinking be jmature. 21 kIn the Law it is written, l“By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign1 not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, mwill they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 nthe secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, ofalling on his face, he will worship God and pdeclare that God is really among you.
Orderly Worship
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has qa hymn, ra lesson, ra revelation, sa tongue, or tan interpretation. uLet all things be done for building up.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,
