²⁶ What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

³¹ But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

¹ Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

⁴ He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
