New International Version NIV
26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.
26
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
27 If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course: and let one interpret.
27
If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church and speak to himself and to God.
28
If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three: and let the rest judge.
29
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
30
And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
31 For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
31

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32
The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.
34 Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith.
34
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35 But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
35
If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
36
Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?
37 If any seem to be a prophet or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
37
If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.
38 But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
38
But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.
39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy: and forbid not to speak with tongues.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 But let all things be done decently and according to order.
40
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
