1 Corinthians 14:28 Context
26How is it then brethren? when ye come together, euery one of you hath a Psalme, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a reuelatiō, hath an interpretatiō: Let all things be done vnto edifying. 27If any man speake in an vnknowen tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interprete. 28But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God. 29Let the Prophets speake two or three, and let the other iudge. 30If any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
