Therefore,my brethren,desire earnestlyto prophesy,and do not forbidto speakin tongues.
But earnestly desirethe greatergifts.And I showyou a stillmore excellentway.
IfI have[the gift of] prophecy,and knowallmysteriesand allknowledge;and ifI haveallfaith,soas to removemountains,but do not havelove,I amnothing.
Pursuelove,yetdesire earnestlyspiritual[gifts], but especiallythat you may prophesy.
But one who prophesiesspeaksto menfor edificationand exhortationand consolation.
But ifanyonedoes not recognize[this], he is not recognized.
NowI wishthat you allspokein tongues,but [even] morethat you would prophesy;and greateris one who prophesiesthanone who speaksin tongues,unlesshe interprets,sothat the churchmay receiveedifying.
do not despiseprophetic utterances.
