But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of ^(C1)revelation, or of ^(C2)knowledge, or of ^(C3)prophecy, or of ^(C4)teaching?

So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be ^(C1)talking to the air.

So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be ^(C1)unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible ^(F1)to me.

So you too, since you are eager to possess ^(F1)spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the ^(C1)edification of the church.

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;

but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God.
