1 Corinthians 14:26-40
Orderly Worship
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
26:
27 If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.
27:
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
28:
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
29:
30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
30:
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
31:
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32:
33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
33:
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
34:
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
35:
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
36:
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
37:
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38:
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39:
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
40:
