1 Corinthians 14:12-14

New International Version

¹² So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit,^(A) try to excel in those that build up^(B) the church.

¹³ For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.^{(C) 14} For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,^(D) but my mind is unfruitful.
