37 If any man is seen to be a prophet, or spiritual, know he those things that I write to you, for those be the commandments of the Lord [know he the things that I write to you, for they be the commandments of the Lord].

39 Therefore, brethren, love ye to prophesy, and do not ye forbid to speak in tongues.
40 But be all things done seemly [Forsooth be all things done honestly], and by due order in you.
