"So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound."
— 1 Corinthians 14:12, Catholic Public Domain 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 ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto 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 it is with you also, for unless you utter with the tongue in plain speech, how will it be known what is said? For then you would be speaking into the air.
Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice.
Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me.
So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound.
For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation.
So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit.
What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind.
