⁴⁶ And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,

⁴ And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

⁶ And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

¹⁷ And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

¹¹ Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.

²⁰ My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

²¹ In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

²² For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

²³ If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

²⁴ But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

²⁵ The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.
