1 Corinthians 14:36-40

Pursue Love, Desire Gifts, and Let All Things Be Done for Edification and Order

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

37 If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.

38 But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.

39 So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

40 But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
