²⁶How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.

²⁷If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course: and let one interpret.

²⁸But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church and speak to himself and to God.

²⁹And let the prophets speak, two or three: and let the rest judge.

³⁰But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.

³¹For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

³²And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

³³For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.

³⁴Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith.

³⁵But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.

³⁶Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?

³⁷If any seem to be a prophet or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.

³⁸But if any man know not, he shall not be known.

³⁹Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy: and forbid not to speak with tongues.

⁴⁰But let all things be done decently and according to order.
