Pursue love, and be zealous over spiritual matters, but rather that you may prophesy.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up and exhortation and comfort.

I wish you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive building up.

But if everyone prophesies, and an unbeliever or an unlearned person comes in, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

And thus the secrets of his heart become revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will do homage to God and proclaim that God is truly among you.

But earnestly desire the more useful gifts. And yet I show you a way according to excellence.

Do not despise prophecies.
