New Testament

1 Corinthians 14:29-40 New English Translation (NET)

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.

36. Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?

37. If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

38. If someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

39. So then, brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.

40. And do everything in a decent and orderly manner.
