I Corinthians 14:32
The Scripture
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
First Corinthians 14 addresses the use of spiritual gifts in worship, urging the church to pursue love and to desire prophecy above tongues, since one who speaks in a tongue speaks mysteries to God that no one understands, while prophecy edifies, exhorts, and comforts the church. Paul instructs that tongues are a sign for unbelievers and prophecy for believers, that an interpreter must accompany tongues or the speaker keep silent in church, and that God is not a God of confusion but of peace. The chapter closes by regulating the orderly exercise of these gifts-women keeping silent in the churches, weighing prophecies carefully-and with the rule that all things be done decently and in order.
