A Call to Orderly Worship
26 Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.
27 No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say. 28 But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent in your church meeting and speak in tongues to God privately.
29 Let two or three people prophesy, and let the others evaluate what is said. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.14:33 The phrase as in all the meetings of God’s holy people could instead be joined to the beginning of 14:34.
40 But be sure that everything is done properly and in order.
