Specific Directions for Order in the Church

²⁶ So, brothers, what is to be done? When you come together, each one of you^[a] has a psalm, or a teaching, or a revelation, or an utterance in a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done in a way that builds people up. ²⁷ If someone speaks in a tongue, limit it to two or at most three (speaking one at a time), and have one person interpret. ²⁸ But if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in the church and keep his speaking between himself and God. ²⁹ Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others carefully evaluate what was said. ³⁰ But if a revelation comes to another person as he sits there, let the first person become silent. ³¹ For you all can do your prophesying one at a time, so that all may learn and all may be encouraged. ³² The spirits of the prophets are also subject to the prophets, ³³ for God is not a God of disorder, but of peace.
