1 Corinthians 14:26-40

Darby Translation

²⁶ What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each [of you] has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

²⁷ If any one speak with a tongue, [let it be] two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;

²⁸ but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in [the] assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

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

³⁰ But if there be a revelation to another sitting [there], let the first be silent.

³¹ For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.

³² And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

³³ For God is not [a God] of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

³⁴ Let [your] women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

³⁵ But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

³⁶ Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only?

³⁷ If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is [the] Lord's commandment.

³⁸ But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

³⁹ So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.

⁴⁰ But let all things be done comelily and with order.
