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: mommapbs, I see the list in 12:28 ... first apostles (being greater than), second prophets (being greater than), third teachers (being greater than), then miracles (being greater than), then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues." I am not sure if each of the last group is greater than the on that follows ot all four is the least gift. But, if you don't have love, any gift is worthless according to chapter 13. Searcher |
