second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing,
those who can help others,
those who have the gift of leadership,
those who speak in unknown languages. Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles?
Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages?
Of course not! So you should earnestly desire
the most helpful gifts.
