29. Two or three who are given God's message should speak, while the others are to judge what they say.
30. But if someone sitting in the meeting receives a message from God, the one who is speaking should stop.
31. All of you may proclaim God's message, one by one, so that everyone will learn and be encouraged.
32. The gift of proclaiming God's message should be under the speaker's control,
33. because God does not want us to be in disorder but in harmony and peace.As in all the churches of God's people,
34. the women should keep quiet in the meetings. They are not allowed to speak; as the Jewish Law says, they must not be in charge.
35. If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home. It is a disgraceful thing for a woman to speak in church.
36. Or could it be that the word of God came from you? Or are you the only ones to whom it came?
37. If anyone supposes he is God's messenger or has a spiritual gift, he must realize that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command.
38. But if he does not pay attention to this, pay no attention to him.
