New Testament

1 Corinthians 14:26-36 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

26. So what is to be done, brothers? When you assemble, one has a psalm, another an instruction, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Everything should be done for building up.

27. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, and each in turn, and one should interpret.

28. But if there is no interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.

29. Two or three prophets should speak, and the others discern.

30. But if a revelation is given to another person sitting there, the first one should be silent.

31. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged.

32. Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets’ control,

33. since he is not the God of disorder but of peace.As in all the churches of the holy ones,

34. women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

35. But if they want to learn anything, they should ask their husbands at home. For it is improper for a woman to speak in the church.

36. Did the word of God go forth from you? Or has it come to you alone?
