Day 290, Friday, 10/16/2020
1 Corinthians 14:26-40
“What
then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of
you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a
tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the
church may be built up.
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue,
two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must
interpret.
28 If there is no interpreter, the
speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to GOD.
29 Two or three prophets should speak,
and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30 And if a revelation comes to
someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
31 For you can all prophesy in turn
so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32 The spirits of prophets are
subject to the control of prophets.
33 For GOD is not a GOD of disorder but of PEACE—as in all the
congregations of THE
LORD’s people.
34 Women should remain
silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in
submission, as the law says.
35 If they want to inquire about
something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful
for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Or did the word of GOD originate
with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?
37 If anyone thinks they are a
prophet or otherwise gifted by THE SPIRIT, let them acknowledge that
what I am writing to you is THE LORD’s command.
38 But if anyone ignores this, they
will themselves be ignored.
39 Therefore, my brothers and
sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 But everything should be done in a
fitting and orderly way.”
