1 Corinthians 14:32

Self-control

30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.

31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.

The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

33 For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.

34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
