1 Corinthians 14:5

Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy.

Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].
