22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign[a] not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, (A)will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 (B)the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, (C)falling on his face, he will worship God and (D)declare that God is really among you.
Orderly Worship
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has (E)a hymn, (F)a lesson, (G)a revelation, (H)a tongue, or (I)an interpretation. (J)Let all things be done for building up.

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,(A) however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?(B) 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets(C) of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”(D)
Good Order in Worship
26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters?(E) When you come together, each of you(F) has a hymn,(G) or a word of instruction,(H) a revelation, a tongue(I) or an interpretation.(J) Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.(K)

1 Corinthians 14:22-26
King James Version
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 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:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 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.
