⁸ To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,^(A) to another a message of knowledge^(B) by means of the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith^(C) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing^(D) by that one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another miraculous powers,^(E) to another prophecy,^(F) to another distinguishing between spirits,^(G) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,^[a](H) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.^{[b] 11} All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,^(I) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Good Order in Worship

²⁶ What then shall we say, brothers and sisters?^(A) When you come together, each of you^(B) has a hymn,^(C) or a word of instruction,^(D) a revelation, a tongue^(E) or an interpretation.^(F) Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.^{(G) 27} If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. ²⁸ If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.

²⁹ Two or three prophets^(H) should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.^{(I) 30} And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. ³¹ For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. ³² The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.^{(J) 33} For God is not a God of disorder^(K) but of peace^(L)—as in all the congregations^(M) of the Lord’s people.^(N)

³⁴ Women^[a] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak,^(O) but must be in submission,^(P) as the law^(Q) says. ³⁵ If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.^[b]
