Brothers and sisters, what should we say then? When you come together, each of you brings something. You bring a hymn or a teaching or a message from God. You bring a message in another language or explain what was said in that language. Everything must be done to build up the church.No more than two or three people should speak in another language. And they should speak one at a time. Then someone must explain what was said.If there is no one to explain, the person speaking should keep quiet in the church. They can speak to themselves and to God.Only two or three prophets are supposed to speak. Others should decide if what is being said is true.What if a message from God comes to someone else who is sitting there? Then the one who is speaking should stop.Those who prophesy can all take turns. In that way, everyone can be taught and be given hope.Those who prophesy should control their speaking.God is not a God of disorder. He is a God of peace, just as in all the churches of the Lord’s people.

I left you on the island of Crete. I did this because there were some things that hadn’t been finished. I wanted you to put them in order. I also wanted you to appoint elders in every town. I told you how to do it.

Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home. Then when you come together, you will not be judged. When I come, I will give you more directions.

Let us act as we should, like people living in the daytime. Have nothing to do with wild parties, and don’t get drunk. Don’t take part in sexual sins or evil conduct. Don’t fight with each other or be jealous of anyone.
