"But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all."
— 1 Corinthians 14:24, NET Bible
“But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:”
“But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all; ”
“But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.”
“But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all.”
“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;”
“But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:”
It is written in the law:“By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,” says the Lord.
So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?
But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.
The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and in this way he will fall down with his face to the ground and worship God, declaring,“God is really among you.”
Church Order What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.
If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.
