²⁶ What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

¹⁹ speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

¹⁹ So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

¹¹ Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

⁸ For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

⁹ to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

¹⁰ and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

¹⁶ from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in `due' measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

¹⁰ For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹⁹ Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, `are' for your edifying.

¹² So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual `gifts', seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.

¹³ Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

²⁹ Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:

⁴⁰ But let all things be done decently and in order.

²⁷ If any man speaketh in a tongue, `let it be' by two, or at the most three, and `that' in turn; and let one interpret:

⁴ He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

⁵ Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

⁶ But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
