26

What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

27

If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn and let one interpret:

28

but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church and let him speak to himself, and to God.

29

And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern.

30

But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

31

For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted

32

and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets

33

for God is not [a God] of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

34

let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.

35

And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.

36

What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?

37

If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

38

But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39

Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

40

But let all things be done decently and in order.
