"So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. "
— 1 Corinthians 14:12, American Standard Version
“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.”
“So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.”
“It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.”
“So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.”
“So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.”
“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.”
So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without signification.
If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.
So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
