³⁹ Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages.

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.

³ But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

⁵ Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

²⁴ But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

²⁵ And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

²⁰ Don't despise prophesies.
