What Does the Bible Say About God-given Gift?

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV / 5 helpful votes

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. ...
