1 Corinthians 14:26-40
26What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
27If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret.
28But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.
29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.
30If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent.
31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,
32and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
33For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
34the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
35If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
36Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord.
38If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
39So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40But all things should be done decently and in order.
