1 Corinthians 14:26-40

Orderly Worship

26 ^aWhat is the outcome then, ^bbrothers? When you assemble, ^ceach one has a ^dpsalm, has a ^eteaching, has a ^erevelation, has a ^ftongue, has a ¹^gtranslation. Let ^hall things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a ^atongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must ¹^btranslate; 28 but if there is no ¹translator, he must keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 And let two or three ^aprophets speak, and let the others ^bpass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 32 And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of ^aconfusion but of ¹peace, as in ^ball the churches of the ^csaints.
34 The 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. 35 But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church. 36 ¹Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it arrived to you only?
37 ^aIf anyone thinks he is a prophet or ^bspiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you ^care the Lord’s commandment. 38 But if anyone remains ignorant about this, he ¹is ignored by God.
39 Therefore, my brothers, ^aearnestly desire to ^bprophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. 40 But ^aall things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.
