1 Corinthians 14:37-40

Expanded Bible

³⁷ Those who think they are prophets or spiritual persons should ·understand [or acknowledge] that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. ³⁸ Those who ignore this will ·be ignored by God [or themselves be ignored].^[a]

³⁹ So my brothers and sisters, you should ·truly want [be eager] to prophesy. And do not ·stop people from using the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages [^Lforbid/hinder speaking in tongues]. ⁴⁰ But let everything be done in a ·right [proper; fitting] and orderly way.
