Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

 1 Corinthians 14:20-40

Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 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.[

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, 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. Again Paul stresses the need for order. He forbids the women to disturb the service by talking. (From verse 35 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 them a vocal part in worship (from 11:5 it is clear that women prayed and prophesied and Paul makes no adverse comment on this.)

Why?

Paul gives a conclusion that everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

Women should remain silent in the churches, for man is the head of the woman, so she should ask his own husbands.

The tongue is good, but it should not whole church speaks tongue, prophesy is better than speaking tongue, for it is good to the unbelievers.

方言的恩賜不如先知講道的恩賜。

方言的原則是要有次序，不可混亂。當時大家強著說，想要出風頭！恩賜的功能是造就人，所以方言要講就必須翻出來，如果沒有人翻譯，就不必說，只是造就自己。

講道也是要造就人，用私意解經不造就人，所以不可說。先知的靈原是順服先知，如果不是如此，就是意識不清，不知自己在做什麼。先知完全清楚自己在做什麼，施洗約翰、司提反被聖靈充滿都知道自己在做什麼！不該像民間信仰起占，自己不知道自己在做什麼，失去自己的意識。婦女可以講道，要蒙頭，要順服權柄。愛的原則，不求自己的益處，多求造就教會的恩賜。

How?

The church is the Holy place, it is a place for prayer and is the place to worship the Lord.
