English
Pursue [this] love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet earnestly desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts [to be used by believers for the benefit of the church], but especially that you may [a]prophesy [to foretell the future, to speak a new message from God to the people].
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1-3 Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it—because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim his truth. If you praise him in the private language of tongues, God understands you but no one else does, for you are sharing intimacies just between you and him. But when you proclaim his truth in everyday speech, you’re letting others in on the truth so that they can grow and be strong and experience his presence with you.
Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Sea siempre el amor vuestra más alta meta. Aspirad también a poseer los dones espirituales, y especialmente el don de la profecía, o sea, de la comunicación del mensaje de Dios.

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.
