* What is it , then , brethren ? When you are come together , each of you has a psalm , has a discourse , has a foreign language , has a revelation , has an interpretation ! Let all things be done to edification . * And if any one speak in a foreign language , let it be by two , or at most by three sentences , and separately ; and let one interpret . * But if there be no interpreter , let him be silent in the congregation ; yet let him speak to himself and to God . * Now , let two or three prophets speak , and let the others judge . * But , if to another , sitting by , anything be revealed , let the first be silent . * For you all can prophesy , one by one , that all may learn , and all may be comforted . * For the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets . * Besides , God is not the author of confusion , but of peace . As in all the assemblies of the saints , * let your women be silent in the congregations : for it has not been permitted to them to speak , but they must be in subjection ; as the law also commands . * And if they wish to learn anything , let them ask their own husbands , at home : for it is an indecent thing for women to speak in the congregation . * What ! went the word of God forth from you ? or did it come to you only ? * If any one be really a prophet , or spiritual person , let him acknowledge the things I write to you , that they are the commandments of the Lord . * And if any one be ignorant , let him be ignorant . * Wherefore , brethren , earnestly desire to prophesy ; and hinder not to speak in foreign languages . * Let all things be done decently and in order .
