Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: -

Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Pursue love; nevertheless be envious of the spiritual gifts, - and, rather, that ye may be prophesying.

So, ye, also - since ye are, envious, of spirits, unto the upbuilding of the assembly, seek to be pre-eminent.
