1 Corinthians 14:12

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

In context

10 Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

11 If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

12 It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

13 Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
