'Ability' in the Bible

To each person has been given the ability to manifest the Spirit for the common good.

To one has been given a message of wisdom by the Spirit; to another the ability to speak with knowledge according to the same Spirit;

to another miraculous results; to another prophecy; to another the ability to distinguish between spirits; to another various kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.

Keep on pursuing love, and keep on desiring spiritual gifts, especially the ability to prophesy.

Therefore, the person who speaks in a foreign language should pray for the ability to interpret it.

Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in foreign languages.
