1 Corinthians 14:27-38 World English Bible (WEB)

27. If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

28. But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

29. Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

30. But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

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

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

33. for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

34. Let the women be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,

35. if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to be talking in the assembly.”

36. What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

37. If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

38. But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
