14:1 Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 14:2 For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit. ¹  14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, ²  encouragement, and consolation.
