'Desire' in the Bible

But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have fellowship with demons.

But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages.

Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
