²⁹ And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

¹⁰ And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

¹⁹ Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

²⁰ Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

²¹ Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;

¹ My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

² By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

³ And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

³⁹ So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.
