1 Corinthians 14:26-33
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Brothers, Organize Your Church Service For Edification
26 What then[a] is to be done, brothers? Whenever you come-together, each[b] one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be done by two or at the most three, and in turn, and let one[c] person interpret. 28 But if [d] there is no interpreter, let him be silent in church. And let him speak to himself [e] and to God. 29 And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others[f] discern[g]. 30 But if a prophecy is revealed to another being seated, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy individually[h], in order that all may learn, and all may be exhorted[i]. 32 And the spirits[j] of prophets are subject[k] to prophets. 33 For God is not the God of disorder[l], but of peace.
