1 Corinthians 14:27

---

← 1 Corinthians 14:26	1 Corinthians 14:27 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 14:28 →
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.	If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.	But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
