that in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge,

Now I have applied these things, brothers, to myself and Apollos for your sake, in order that in us you may learn not [to go] beyond what is written, lest someone be inflated with pride on behalf of one [person] against the other.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,

And if I have [the gift of] prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that [I can] remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

Just as each one has received a gift, [use] it for serving one another, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

Differing according

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone who is among you not to think more highly of yourself than what one ought to think, but to think {sensibly}, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each one.

Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers by a long message.

({Now this man had} four virgin daughters who prophesied.)

to another {miraculous powers}, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

And if I have [the gift of] prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that [I can] remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

Pursue love, and strive for spiritual [gifts], but especially that you may prophesy.

(which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit):

And he himself gave some [as] apostles and some [as] prophets and some [as] evangelists and some [as] pastors and teachers

Do not despise prophecies,

According to the proportion

Now a certain Jew {named} Apollos, {a native} Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus--an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures.

For if the eagerness is present {according to what one has}, [it is] acceptable not {according to what one does not have}.

Therefore as many as [are] perfect, {let us hold this opinion}, and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you.
