1 Cor 14:18-40
Tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy , however , is for believers, not for unbelievers.
It there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
It is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Therefor, my brother, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
Paul's instructions for how things should be done, provides a fascinating glimpse into an early-church service. He forbids the women to disturb the service by talking. (It seems that some were calling out questions and comments.) Their new liberty is not to be abused. 'Paul is not discussing whether and how qualified women may minister, but how women should learn'.
He is certainly not denying the a vocal part in worship.
(11:5 it is clear that women prayed and prophesied - and Paul makes no adverse(不利的) comment on this.)
14:34: There is no Old Testament law about this. Paul may mean Genesis 3:16
Why?
Tongue is proved that the Lord is with him in unbelievers. In church should be quiet and be done in a fitting and order way. So Paul die not encourage tongue but prophesy.
How?
Eager to prophesy, and bot forbid speaking in tongue. Observe the word of the Lord.
