1 Corinthians 14:1-24 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.… The remark of the Rev. John Newton below deserves to be written on the tablet of every heart. "I see in this world," he observes, "two heaps — one of human happiness and one of misery; now, if I can take but the smallest bit from the second heap and add to the first, I carry a point. If, as I go home, a child has dropped a halfpenny, and if by giving it another I can wipe away its tears, I feel that I have doom something. I should be glad, indeed, to do great things, but I will not neglect such little ones as this." Parallel Verses KJV: Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.WEB: Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. |
