And I, my brethren, could not speak to you, as to spiritual persons, but as to carnal ones, even as to babes in Christ.

for I could wish that all men were as I myself am; but every man hath his proper gift from God, one of one kind and another of another?

I could wish that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
