1 Corinthians 14:1

³⁹Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

¹⁴Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.

¹⁴Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

¹⁴Let all that you do be done in love.

¹Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation. ⁴He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. ⁵Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

²⁰Don’t despise prophecies.

¹³But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

¹¹Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it. ¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

¹³Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
