1 Corinthians 14:26-40
26 |
How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. |
27 |
If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. |
28 |
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. |
29 |
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. |
30 |
But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. |
31 |
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. |
32 |
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. |
33 |
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. |
34 |
Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. |
35 |
And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. |
36 |
Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? |
37 |
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. |
38 |
But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. |
39 |
Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. |
40 |
Let all things be done decently and in order. |
