1 Corinthians 14:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² It is the same with you. Since you ·eagerly desire [are zealous for] ·spiritual gifts [or manifestations of the Spirit], seek ·most of all to have [to excel in] the gifts that ·help the church grow stronger [build up/edify the church].

¹³ [^LTherefore] The one who has the gift of ·speaking in a different language [or ecstatic utterance; ^Ltongues] should pray for the gift to interpret what is spoken. ¹⁴ If I pray ·in a different language [or with ecstatic utterance; ^Lin a tongue], my spirit is praying, but my mind ·does nothing [^Lis unfruitful].
