1 Corinthians 14:38-40
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
38 But if anyone disregards or does not recognize [[a]that it is a command of the Lord], he is disregarded and not recognized [he is [b]one whom God knows not].
39 So [to conclude], my brethren, earnestly desire and set your hearts on prophesying (on being inspired to preach and teach and to interpret God’s will and purpose), and do not forbid or hinder speaking in [unknown] tongues.
40 But all things should be done with regard to decency and propriety and in an orderly fashion.
