1 Corinthians 14:37-40
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
37 Anyone who claims to be a prophet or spiritual must acknowledge that what I am writing to you is a command[a] of the Lord.(A) 38 Anyone who does not recognize this is not to be recognized. 39 So, my brothers and sisters, strive to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues,(B) 40 but all things should be done decently and in order.

1 Corinthians 14:37-40
International Standard Version
37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or a spiritual person, he must acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, he should be ignored.[a]
39 Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in foreign languages. 40 But everything must be done in a proper and orderly way.
