'Desire' in the Bible

What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

But earnestly desire the greater gifts.And I show you a still more excellent way.

Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
