1 Corinthians 14:31

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.

33 For God is not the author of¹ confusion but of peace, ^aas in all the churches of the saints.

34 ^aLet¹ your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the ^blaw also says.

1 Corinthians 14:31

For ye may all prophecy ... - There is time enough for all; there is no need of speaking in confusion and disorder. Every person may have an opportunity of expressing his sentiments at the proper time.

That all may learn - In such a manner that there may be edification. This might be done if they would speak one at a time in their proper order.
