NASB | 1 Corinthians 12:31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. ¶ And I show you a still more excellent way. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:31 But earnestly desire and strive for the greater gifts [if acquiring them is going to be your goal]. And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one of the choicest graces and the highest of them all: unselfish love]. |
Subject: What are the "greater gifts?" |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, I don't see in chapter 13 where Paul states that love is a gift, but more the engine that drives the train. Since God is love, and the gifts are simply the Holy Spirit who works by love, without love the gifts not only WON'T work, they CAN'T work because they are manifestations of God Himself through yielded human vessels. God bless |
