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.
YetI wishthat allmenwere evenas I myselfam. However,each manhashis owngiftfrom God,onein thismanner,and anotherin that.
I wishthat thosewho are troublingyou would evenmutilatethemselves.
