You must judge for yourselves in this matter. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with nothing on her head?

to another, through union with the same Spirit, faith; to another, by one and the same Spirit, power to cure the sick;

to another, power for working wonders; to another, prophetic insight; to another, the power to discriminate between the true Spirit and false spirits; to another, various ecstatic utterances; and to another, the power to explain them.

But the one and same Spirit accomplishes all these achievements, and apportions power to each of us as He chooses.

And God has placed people in the church, first as apostles, second as prophets, third as teachers, then wonder-workers; then people with power to cure the sick, helpers, managers, ecstatic speakers.

Not all are people with power to cure the sick, are they? Not all are ecstatic speakers, are they? Not all can explain ecstatic speaking, can they?

It bears up under anything; it exercises faith in everything; it keeps up hope in everything; it gives us power to endure in anything.

Therefore, the man who speaks in ecstasy must pray for power to explain what he says.
