Then how is it ,
brothers ?
When you come together ,
each one of you has a psalm ,
has a teaching ,
has a tongue ,
has a revelation ,
has an interpretation .
Let all things be for building up .
*
If one speaks in a language , [
let it be ]
by two ,
or [
at ]
the most three ,
and in succession .
And let one interpret .
*
But if there is no interpreter ,
let him be silent in a church ;
and let him speak to himself and to God .
*
And [
if there are ]
two or three prophets ,
let them speak ,
and let the others judge .
*
If [
a revelation ]
is revealed to another sitting by ,
let the first be silent .
*
For you may all prophesy one by one ,
so that all may learn and all may be comforted .
*
And the spirits of the prophets [
are ]
subject to the prophets .
*
For God is not [
the author ]
of confusion ,
but of peace ,
as in all churches of the saints .
*
Let your women be silent in the churches ;
for it is not permitted to them to speak ,
but to be in subjection ,
as the Law also says .
*
And if they desire to learn anything ,
let them ask their husbands at home ;
for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church .
*
Or did the Word of God go out from you ?
Or did it reach only to you ?
*
If anyone thinks to be a prophet ,
or a spiritual one ,
let him recognize the things I write to you ,
that they are a commandment of the Lord .
*
But if any is ignorant ,
let him be ignorant .
*
So then ,
brothers ,
seek to prophesy ,
and do not forbid to speak in languages .
*
Let all things be done decently and in order .
