¹² so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

²⁶ What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

⁷ And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;

³¹ and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:

¹ Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

³ and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

⁴ he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;
