So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

For we do not write you anything other than what ¹  you can read and also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely ² 

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power ¹  belongs to God and does not come from us.

For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including ¹  more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase ²  to the glory of God.

Therefore I am content with ¹  weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties ²  for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

Formerly when you did not know God, you were enslaved to beings that by nature are not gods at all. ¹ 

I am confident ¹  in the Lord that you will accept no other view. ²  But the one who is confusing ³  you will pay the penalty, ⁴  whoever he may be.

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. ¹ 

From Paul, ¹  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints [in Ephesus], ²  the faithful ³  in Christ Jesus.

namely, that through the gospel ¹  the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members ²  of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to ¹  all the fullness of God.

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, ¹  urge you to live ²  worthily of the calling with which you have been called, ³ 

I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship ¹  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete ²  the word of God,

From Paul ¹  and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians ²  in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you! ³ 

But she will be delivered through childbearing, ¹  if she ²  continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.

By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. ¹  Grace be with you all. ² 

And so, ¹  since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.” ² 

But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.
