'Desiring' in the Bible

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

Keep on desiring the better gifts. And now I will show you the best way of all.

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

In the same way, since you're so desirous of spiritual gifts, you must keep on desiring them for building up the church.
