²⁹ Then Moses said to him, “Are you ^[a]zealous for my sake? ^(A)Oh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”

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.

⁹ Do not ^[a]grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be ^[b]condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
