Margo's Bible Verses March 31st

On this date, March 31st Margo was reading in the book of Mark 4:35-41 titled "Jesus Calms the Storm" and in I Corinthians 14:1-5 titled "Prophecy and Tongues".

These are the verses Margo underlined in the passage in I Corinthians, the apostle Paul writing:

"1:Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy...5:I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. "

These are the sentences Margo underlined in the commentary on the passage in I Corinthians:

"Paul makes several points about speaking in tongues:(1)it is a spiritual gift from God;(2)it is a desirable gift even though it isn't a requirement of faith; (3) it is less important than prophecy and teaching."
