'Desire' in the Bible
But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.
