1 Corinthians 14 emphasizes the importance of order in church worship, especially in using spiritual gifts like prophecy and speaking in tongues. Paul teaches that prophecy, which edifies and instructs, is more beneficial to the church than speaking in tongues without interpretation. He stresses that worship should be conducted in an orderly and understandable way to build up the congregation and encourage unity.
Paul switches gears to discuss order in the church for men and women on the issue of covering of the head.
Paul continues about foods sacrificed to idols with a commandment to (the strong) just simply avoid idolatry in any form for the sake of others – not to be a stumbling block.
