'Ambitious' in the Bible

Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.
