1 Corinthians 14:12
qEven so ye, *forasmuch as ye are zealous 4of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
NKJV: Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.
ESV: So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων, πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε.
q:
1 Corinthians 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1 Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
*:
forasmuch-since, seeing that.
