1 Corinthians 14:29-37

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.

34The women should be quiet during the meetings. They should not speak. They should remember that they are under authority. That is also what God's Law teaches.

35If a woman wants to ask about something, she should ask her husband at home. Women should be ashamed if they speak in the church.

36Remember that God's message did not start from you in Corinth! You are not the only people who have heard it, either.

37Someone may think that he has the gift to speak messages from God. Or he may think that he has received other spiritual gifts. Anyone who thinks like that should agree with what I have written to you. He should recognize that it is what the Lord himself is telling his people to do.
