1 Corinthians 14:26–40

^26aWhat is the outcome then, ^bbrethren? When you assemble, ^ceach one has a ^dpsalm, has a ^eteaching, has a revelation, has a ^ftongue, has an ^ginterpretation. Let ^hall things be done for edification.

²⁷If anyone speaks in a ^atongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must ^binterpret;

²⁸but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

²⁹Let two or three ^aprophets speak, and let the others ^bpass judgment.

³⁰But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

³¹For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

³²and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;

³³for God is not a God of ^aconfusion but of ¹peace, as in ^ball the churches of the ^csaints.

³⁴The women are to ^akeep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but ^bare to subject themselves, just as ^cthe Law also says.

³⁵If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is ¹improper for a woman to speak in church.

³⁶¹Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

^37aIf anyone thinks he is a prophet or ^bspiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you ^care the Lord’s commandment.

³⁸But if anyone does not recognize this, he ¹is not recognized.

³⁹Therefore, my brethren, ^adesire earnestly to ^bprophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

⁴⁰But ^aall things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.
