1 Corinthians 14:29-37

29Let two or three people prophesy, and let the others evaluate what is said.

30But if someone is prophesying and another person receives a revelation from the Lord, the one who is speaking must stop.

31In this way, all who prophesy will have a turn to speak, one after the other, so that everyone will learn and be encouraged.

32Remember that people who prophesy are in control of their spirit and can take turns.

33For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.

34Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.

35If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.

36Or do you think God’s word originated with you Corinthians? Are you the only ones to whom it was given?

37If you claim to be a prophet or think you are spiritual, you should recognize that what I am saying is a command from the Lord himself.
