⁴⁶ For they were hearing them ^(A)speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

⁶ And ^(A)when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and ^(B)they began speaking in tongues and ^(C)prophesying.

⁴ And they were all ^(A)filled with the Holy Spirit and began ^(B)to speak in other tongues ^(C)as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹⁷ And ^(A)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(B)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(C)they will speak in new tongues;

¹¹ both Jews and ^(A)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”

²⁰ Brothers, ^(A)do not be children in your thinking. ^(B)Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be ^(C)mature. ^21 (D)In the Law it is written, ^(E)“By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 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, ^(F)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 (G)the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, ^(H)falling on his face, he will worship God and ^(I)declare that God is really among you.
