Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:

prophesyings despise not;
