God’s Word Translation

1 Corinthians 14:29-37

29Two or three people should speak what God has revealed. Everyone else should decide whether what each person said is right or wrong.

30If God reveals something to another person who is seated, the first speaker should be silent.

31All of you can take your turns speaking what God has revealed. In that way, everyone will learn and be encouraged.

32People who speak what God has revealed must control themselves.

33God is not a God of disorder but a God of peace. As in all the churches of God’s holy people,

34the women must keep silent. They don’t have the right to speak. They must take their place as Moses’ Teachings say.

35If they want to know anything they should ask their husbands at home. It’s shameful for a woman to speak in church.

36Did God’s word originate with you? Are you the only ones it has reached?

37Whoever thinks that he speaks for God or that he is spiritually gifted must acknowledge that what I write to you is what the Lord commands.
