1 Corinthians 14:1-2
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].
