1 Corinthians 14:26-40 - Specific Instructions For Orderly Worship Services
26 What a thing is it, brethren, that when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? 27 Let all things be done to edification. If any one speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two or three at most, and that by course, and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the rest judge. But if any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, 30 let the first be silent. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 For the Spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 34 Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also saith. 35 And if they desire to learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is indecent for a woman to speak in the assembly. 36 Did the word of God come out from you? or did it come to you alone?
37 If any one think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you, are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Therefore, brethren, covet to prophesy; yet forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
