1 Corinthians 14:27-33

27If some people speak in special languages, it should only be two or three people. They should speak one person at a time. Then someone must explain what each person said.

28But perhaps there is nobody among you who can explain like that. Then, anyone who wanted to speak in a special language must be quiet in your meeting. When they are on their own, they should speak to God.

29When you meet together, two or three people should speak a message from God. Then the other people there should think carefully about each message.

30Someone who is sitting in your meeting may receive a special message from God. Then, the person who is already speaking should stop.

31In that way, each person can speak a message from God, one person at a time. Then everyone will learn something that helps them.

32All of you who speak messages from God have authority over your own spirits.

33When we meet together as God's people, he wants there to be peace among us. He does not want to bring trouble. This is what happens in all the churches where God's people meet together.
