hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take

witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to
hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the
church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Acts 2:4-8
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there
were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation
under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came
together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them
speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak
Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we
were born?
1 Corinthians 14:9-13
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the
world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I
know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh
a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Wherefore let him
that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:18-19
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the
church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by
my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an
unknown tongue.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that
which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
unto the hearers.

may know how ye ought to answer every man.

neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be
yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
