1 Corinthians 14:29-37

29

TwoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 prophetsG4396 should speakG2980, andG2532 theG3588 othersG243 should weigh carefullyG1252 what is said. 30AndG1161 ifG1437 a revelation comesG601 to someone whoG243 is seatedG2521, theG3588 firstG4413 speaker should stopG4601. 31ForG1063 you canG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 inG2596 turn so thatG2443 everyoneG3956 may be instructedG3129 andG2532 encouragedG3870. 32The spiritsG4151 of prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to prophetsG4396. 33ForG1063 God isG1510 notG3756 a GodG2316 of disorderG181, butG235 of peaceG1515—asG5613 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577 of theG3588 saintsG40.1

WomenG1135 are to be silentG4601 inG1722 theG3588 churchesG1577. TheyG3756G846 are not permittedG2010 to speakG2980, butG235 must be in submissionG5293, asG2531 theG3588 lawG3551 saysG3004. 35IfG1487 they wishG2309 to inquire aboutG3129 somethingG5100, they are to askG1905 their ownG2398 husbandsG435 atG1722 homeG3624; forG1063 it isG1510 dishonorableG150 for a womanG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 the churchG1577.2

36DidG2228 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 originateG1831 withG575 youG4771? OrG2228 are youG4771 the onlyG3441 ones it has reachedG2658? 37IfG1487 anyoneG5100 considersG1380 himself a prophetG4396 orG2228 spiritual personG4152, let him acknowledgeG1921 thatG3754 whatG3739 I am writingG1125 youG4771 isG1510 the Lord’sG2962 commandG1785.
