The appeal to desire especially to prophesy

특별히 예언을 하려고 하라는 권면

1 Corinthians 14:1–19: the letter says, “Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation. He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more 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. But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?” After 14:7–11, which speak of the pipe and the harp, the trumpet and the languages in the world, it goes on, “So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly. Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the ‘Amen’ at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say? For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up. I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all. However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.” At 14:19 the Korean Revised Version reads 교회에서 네가 남을 가르치기 위하여, with 네가 in the second person where WEB has the first person (“I”).

¹Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
²For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
⁴He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
⁵Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more 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.
⁶But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
⁷Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
⁸For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
⁹So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
¹⁰There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
¹¹If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
¹²So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
¹³Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
¹⁴For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
¹⁵What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
¹⁶Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
¹⁷For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
¹⁸I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
¹⁹However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
