1 Corinthians 14:28

Order in Church Meetings

26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, ^ahas a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. ^bLet all things be done for edification.

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.

28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

29 Let two or three prophets speak, and ^alet the others judge.

30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, ^alet the first keep silent.

31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

32 And ^athe spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

1 Corinthians 14:28

But if there be no interpreter - If there be no one present who has the gift of interpretation.

And let him speak to himself and to God - See the note at I Corinthians 14:2, note at I Corinthians 14:4. Let him commune with himself, and with God; let him meditate on the truths which are revealed to him, and let him in secret express his desires to God.
