    30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 但如果上帝的启示临到在座的其他人,正在讲的人要停下来,

    31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 这样大家都可以轮流讲道,人人都可以得到教导和勉励。

    32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 先知的灵受先知控制(现代译本)/先知的灵,原是顺服先知的(和合本),

重点句子的学习:林前14:22-25

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 由此可见,讲方言不是显给信徒的标记,而是显给非信徒的标记;但先知讲道是显给信徒的标记,不是显给非信徒的标记。

23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 所以,如果你们在聚会中,全体信徒都说方言,偶然有不懂方言的人或非信徒进来,他们岂不会说你们全都疯了吗?

24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 但如果你们都做先知讲道,偶然有非信徒或是不懂方言的人进来,他会醒悟到自己的罪,良心受到谴责,

25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!” 心中的秘密也会显露出来,便会俯伏敬拜上帝,说:“上帝真的在你们当中!”
