1 Corinthians 14:1-5

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

14 ¹ Be pursuing^[a] love.

Be Zealous For Spiritual Gifts, But Especially To Prophesy And Edify The Church

Now be zealous-for the spiritual gifts, but even-more^[b] that you might be prophesying. ² For the one speaking in a tongue is not speaking^[c] to people, but to God— for no one hears^[d], but he speaks mysteries^[e] with his spirit^[f]. ³ But the one prophesying is speaking edification and exhortation and consolation^[g] to people. ⁴ The one speaking in a tongue is edifying himself ^[h], but the one prophesying is edifying the church. ⁵ And I wish^[i] that you all were speaking in tongues, but even-more^[j] that you might be prophesying. But^[k] the one prophesying is greater^[l] than one speaking in tongues— unless^[m] he interprets in order that the church may receive edification.
