1 Corinthians 14:10-12
Worldwide English (New Testament)
10 There are no doubt many different languages in the world. And every one of them has a meaning.
11 But if a person talks in a language and I do not know the meaning of it, I will be like a stranger to him and he will be like a stranger to me.
12 So it is with you. You want the gifts of the Spirit. Then you should want the gift which will make you better able to help the church people.

New International Version
10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.(A) 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit,(B) try to excel in those that build up(C) the church.
