Legacy Standard Bible
37 (A)If anyone thinks he is a prophet or (B)spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you (C)are the Lord’s commandment. 38 But if anyone remains ignorant about this, he [a]is ignored by God.
39 Therefore, my brothers, (D)earnestly desire to (E)prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. 40 But (F)all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.

37 If you claim to be a prophet or think you are spiritual, you should recognize that what I am saying is a command from the Lord himself. 38 But if you do not recognize this, you yourself will not be recognized.[a]
39 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But be sure that everything is done properly and in order.
