Exegesis
The verb dokei {δοκεῖ | do-keî} with the infinitive einai {εἶναι | eî-nai} governs the predicate nominatives prophētēs {προφήτης | pro-phḗ-tēs} and pneumatikos {πνευματικός | pneu-ma-ti-kós}, linked by the conjunction ē {ἢ | ḕ} to express “thinks he is a prophet or spiritual.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:37
If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, he must acknowledge that the things which I write to you are of the Lord .
