Specific Instructions For Orderly Worship Services

³⁷ If any one thinks that he has the gift of preaching or any other spiritual gift, let him recognize that what I am now saying to you is a command from the Lord. ³⁸ Any one who ignores it may be ignored. ³⁹ Therefore, my Brothers, strive for the gift of preaching, and yet do not forbid speaking in 'tongues.'
