1 Corinthians 14:29-37

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.
