SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:37
Si alguno, a su parecer, es profeta, o espiritual, reconozca lo que os escribo, porque son mandamientos del Seor.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:37
Verse 37. If any man think himself to be a prophet, &c.] He who is really a spiritual man, under the influence of the Spirit of God, and capable of teaching the Divine will, he will acknowledge that what I now say is from the same Spirit; and that the things which I now write are the commandments of God, and must be obeyed on pain of his displeasure.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. If any man think himself to be a prophet , etc.] Or seems to be a prophet, and is really one; for the apostle does not so much design to strike at the pride, vanity, and appearances of false prophets, as to observe, that those that are really prophets, have the gift of prophesy, either of foretelling future events, or a peculiar gift of preaching the Gospel, and explaining the Scriptures, will allow what he had said to be right: or spiritual ; not merely one that has the Spirit of God, is regenerated and sanctified by him, in opposition to a natural and carnal man; or one that has a larger knowledge of spiritual things, in distinction from a babe in Christ; but one that is endued with spiritual gifts, with the extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, with a discerning of spirits; as there were such among them no doubt, as well as prophets, and who were distinct from them, having the word of wisdom and knowledge: let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord ; if he is a true prophet, and really a spiritual man, he will clearly see, and therefore ought to own, that the rules here prescribed concerning speaking with tongues and prophesying, and concerning the intolerableness, unlawfulness, and indecency of womens speaking in public assemblies, are perfectly agreeable to the commands of Christ, and are to be esteemed as such, being delivered under the influence and direction of his Spirit; and which the prophet and spiritual man must discern and allow, if they have the Spirit of God; for whatever was commanded by the apostles under divine inspiration, was all one as if immediately commanded by Christ himself.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 34-40 - When the apostle exhorts Christian women to seek information of religious subjects from their husbands at home, it shows that believin families ought to assemble for promoting spiritual knowledge. The Spirit of Christ can never contradict itself; and if their revelation are against those of the apostle, they do not come from the sam Spirit. The way to keep peace, truth, and order in the church, is to seek that which is good for it, to bear with that which is not hurtfu to its welfare, and to keep up good behaviour, order, and decency __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:37 {The commandment of the Lord} (kuriou entole). The prophet or the one with the gift of tongues or the disturbing woman would be quick to resent the sharp words of Paul. He claims inspiration for his position.
