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: Do we need to ask for "gifts" ? |
