Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, &c.— "Therefore, to conclude all that I have been saying on these points, my advice to you, brethren, is, that you be earnestly desirous of obtaining and exercising the gift of prophesy, as the most excellent in itself, and most profitable to the church, of all others; (1 Corinthians 14:1-5.) and yet that ye would not utterly discountenance and prevent the exercise of the gift of tongues, which may also be of good use in its place, if it be managed according to the foregoing rules concerning it."
