1 Corinthians 14:26-33
New American Standard Bible
26 (A)What is the outcome then, (B)brothers and sisters? When you assemble, (C)each one has a (D)psalm, has a (E)teaching, has a (F)revelation, has a (G)tongue, has an (H)interpretation. (I)All things are to be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a (J)tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to (K)interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God. 29 Have two or three (L)prophets speak, and have the others (M)pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, then the first one is to keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be [a]exhorted; 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of (N)confusion, but of peace.
As in (O)all the churches of the [b](P)saints,

International Standard Version
Maintain Order in the Church
26 What, then, does this mean,[a] brothers? When you gather, everyone has a psalm, teaching, revelation, foreign language, or interpretation. Everything must be done for upbuilding. 27 If anyone speaks in a foreign language, only two or three at the most should do so, one at a time, and somebody must interpret. 28 If an interpreter is not present, the speaker[b] should remain silent in the church and speak to himself and God.
29 Two or three prophets should speak, and others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another person who is seated, the first person should be silent. 31 For everyone can prophesy in turn, so that everyone can be instructed and everyone can be encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the prophets, 33 for God[c] is not a God of disorder but of peace.
As[d] in all the churches of the saints,
