²⁹ Let two or three prophets speak, and ^(A)let the others judge.

^10 (A)to another the working of miracles, to another ^(B)prophecy, to another ^(C)discerning of spirits, to another ^(D)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

^19 (A)Do not quench the Spirit. ^20 (B)Do not despise prophecies. ^21 (C)Test all things; ^(D)hold fast what is good.

Love for God and One Another

4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but ^(A)test the spirits, whether they are of God; because ^(B)many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: ^(C)Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that does not confess ^[a]that Jesus ^[b]Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

³⁹ Therefore, brethren, ^(A)desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.
