1 Corinthians 14:27 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

25 Lo oculto de su corazón se hace manifiesto: y así, postrándose sobre el rostro, adorará á Dios, declarando que verdaderamente Dios está en vosotros.

26 ¿Qué hay pues, hermanos? Cuando os juntáis, cada uno de vosotros tiene salmo, tiene doctrina, tiene lengua, tiene revelación, tiene interpretación: hágase todo para edificación.

27 Si hablare alguno en lengua [extraña], [sea esto] por dos, ó á lo más tres, y por turno; mas uno interprete.

28 Y si no hubiere intérprete, calle en la iglesia, y hable á sí mismo y á Dios.

29 Asimismo, los profetas hablen dos ó tres, y los demás juzguen.
