26 (A)What is the outcome then, (B)brothers? When you assemble, (C)each one has a (D)psalm, has a (E)teaching, has a (F)revelation, has a (G)tongue, has a [a](H)translation. Let (I)all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a (J)tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must [b](K)translate; 28 but if there is no [c]translator, he must keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 And let two or three (L)prophets speak, and let the others (M)pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 32 And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of (N)confusion but of [d]peace, as in (O)all the churches of the (P)saints.
