¹⁰ and to another the ^[a]effecting of ^[b](A)miracles, and to another ^(B)prophecy, and to another the ^[c](C)distinguishing of spirits, to another various ^(D)kinds of tongues, and to another the ^(E)interpretation of tongues.

⁵ Now I wish that you all ^(A)spoke in tongues, but ^(B)rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who ^(C)speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive ^(D)edification.

¹³ Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue is to pray that he may interpret.

²⁷ If anyone speaks in a ^(A)tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to ^(B)interpret; ²⁸ but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God. ²⁹ Have two or three ^(C)prophets speak, and have the others ^(D)pass judgment. ³⁰ But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, then the first one is to keep silent. ³¹ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be ^[a]exhorted; ³² and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; ³³ for God is not a God of ^(E)confusion, but of peace.

As in ^(F)all the churches of the ^[b](G)saints, ³⁴ the women are to ^(H)keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but ^(I)are to subject themselves, just as ^(J)the Law also says. ³⁵ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is ^[c]improper for a woman to speak in church. ³⁶ Or was it from you that the word of God first went out? Or has it come to you only?

^37 (K)If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or ^(L)spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you ^(M)are the Lord’s commandment. ³⁸ But if anyone does not recognize this, ^[d]he is not recognized.

³⁹ Therefore, my brothers and sisters, ^(N)earnestly desire to ^(O)prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. ⁴⁰ But ^(P)all things must be done properly and in an orderly way.
