1 Corinthians 14:28 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

26 Que faire donc, frères? Lorsque vous vous assemblez, les uns ou les autres parmi vous ont-ils un cantique, une instruction, une révélation, une langue, une interprétation, que tout se fasse pour l’édification.

27 En est-il qui parlent en langue, que deux ou trois au plus parlent, chacun à son tour, et que quelqu’un interprète;

28 s’il n’y a point d’interprète, qu’on se taise dans l’Église, et qu’on parle à soi-même et à Dieu.

29 Pour ce qui est des prophètes, que deux ou trois parlent, et que les autres jugent;

30 et si un autre qui est assis a une révélation, que le premier se taise.
