World English Bible
"So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly."
— 1 Corinthians 14:12, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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 you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
If then I don't know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, 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.
