1 Pursue love, and use your ambition to try to get spiritual gifts but especially so that you might prophesy.
2 This is because those who speak in a tongue don’t speak to people but to God; no one understands it—they speak mysteries by the Spirit.
3 Those who prophesy speak to people, building them up, and giving them encouragement and comfort.
4 People who speak in a tongue build up themselves; those who prophesy build up the church.
