1 Corinthians 14:36-38

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ What! Did the word of the Lord originate with you [Corinthians], or has it reached only you?

³⁷ If anyone thinks and claims that he is a prophet [filled with and governed by the Holy Spirit of God and inspired to interpret the divine will and purpose in preaching or teaching] or has any other spiritual endowment, let him understand (recognize and acknowledge) that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord.

³⁸ But if anyone disregards or does not recognize [^[a]that it is a command of the Lord], he is disregarded and not recognized [he is ^[b]one whom God knows not].
