1 Corinthians 14:3

14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, ¹  encouragement, and consolation.

1 Corinthians 14:12

14:12 It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, ²  seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.

[14:3]  ¹ tn Grk “edification.”

[14:12]  ² tn Grk “eager for spirits.” The plural is probably a shorthand for the Spirit’s gifts, especially in this context, tongues.
