Prophecy and Tongues

14 Pursue love, and ^(A)desire spiritual gifts, ^(B)but especially that you may prophesy.

³⁹ Therefore, brethren, ^(A)desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

^14 (A)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, ^(B)without which no one will see the Lord:

^14 (A)Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy ^(B)with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

^14 (A)Let all that you do be done with love.

Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity

12 Now ^(A)concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

¹³ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

^20 (A)Do not despise prophecies.

³ But he who prophesies speaks ^(A)edification and ^(B)exhortation and comfort to men. ⁴ He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. ⁵ I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; ^[a]for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
