If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,
And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; –
»Come,« she said, »and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?«

Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.
Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?
But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.
