Orderly Worship

²⁶ What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has ^(A)a hymn, ^(B)a lesson, ^(C)a revelation, ^(D)a tongue, or ^(E)an interpretation. ^(F)Let all things be done for building up.

¹⁹ addressing one another in ^(A)psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,

¹⁹ So then let us ^(A)pursue what makes for peace and for ^(B)mutual upbuilding.

¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

^7 (A)To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. ⁸ For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of ^(B)wisdom, and to another the utterance of ^(C)knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to another ^(D)faith by the same Spirit, to another ^(E)gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another ^(F)the working of miracles, to another ^(G)prophecy, to another ^(H)the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another ^(I)various kinds of tongues, to another ^(J)the interpretation of tongues.

^16 (A)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, ^(B)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

¹² So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.

¹³ Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

^29 (A)Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give ^(B)grace to those who hear.

¹⁰ For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come ^(A)I may not have to be ^(B)severe in my use of ^(C)the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
