Brothers, I couldn't talk to you as spiritual people but as worldly people, as mere infants in the Messiah.

You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you!

You know that when you were unbelievers, you were enticed and led astray to worship idols that couldn't even speak.

Now I wish that all of you could speak in foreign languages, but especially that you could prophesy. The person who prophesies is more important than the person who speaks in a foreign language, unless he interprets it so that the church may be built up.
