Orderly Worship

26aWhat is the outcome then, bbrothers? When you assemble, ceach one has a dpsalm, has a eteaching, has a frevelation, has a gtongue, has a 1translation. Let all things be done for edification. 27If anyone speaks in a atongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must 1,btranslate; 28but if there is no 1translator, he must keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29And let two or three aprophets speak, and let the others bpass judgment. 30But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 32And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33for God is not a God of aconfusion but of 1peace, as in ball the churches of the csaints.
34The women are to akeep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but bare to subject themselves, just as cthe Law also says. 35But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church. 361Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it arrived to you only?
37aIf anyone thinks he is a prophet or bspiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you care the Lord’s commandment. 38But if anyone remains ignorant about this, he 1is ignored by God.
39Therefore, my brothers, aearnestly desire to bprophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. 40But aall things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.
