24. But suppose all of you are prophesying when those unbelievers and outsiders come in. They will realize that they are sinners, and they will want to change their ways because of what you are saying.
25. They will tell what is hidden in their hearts. Then they will kneel down and say to God, “We are certain that you are with these people.”
26. My friends, when you meet to worship, you must do everything for the good of everyone there. That's how it should be when someone sings or teaches or tells what God has said or speaks an unknown language or explains what the language means.
27. No more than two or three of you should speak unknown languages during the meeting. You must take turns, and someone should always be there to explain what you mean.
28. If no one can explain, you must keep silent in church and speak only to yourself and to God.
29. Two or three persons may prophesy, and everyone else must listen carefully.
30. If someone sitting there receives a message from God, the speaker must stop and let the other person speak.
