1 Korintus 12:29-31

12:29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they? 12:30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they? ¹  12:31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.

And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison. ² 

[12:30]  ¹ sn The questions in vv. 29-30 all expect a negative response.

[12:31]  ² tn Grk “a still more excellent way.” In this context the phrase has an elative rather than a comparative sense, however.
