← 1 Corinthians 14:27	1 Corinthians 14:28 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 14:29 →
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.	Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
