1 Corinthians 14:37-40
New American Standard Bible
37 (A)If anyone thinks that 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 does not recognize this, [a]he is not recognized.
39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, (D)earnestly desire to (E)prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But (F)all things must be done properly and in an orderly way.
