New Testament

1 Corinthians 14:25-35 New English Translation (NET)

25. The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and in this way he will fall down with his face to the ground and worship God, declaring, “God is really among you.”

26. What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

27. If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.

28. But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

29. Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.

30. And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.

31. For you can all prophesy one after another, so all can learn and be encouraged.

32. Indeed, the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

33. for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace.As in all the churches of the saints,

34. the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.

35. If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
