Hearken to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look unto the rock from where you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.

Well reported of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.

Desire

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Prophesy

But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke unto him, and took some of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Despise not prophesying.

Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

General references

Let all your things be done with love.

Despise not prophesying.
