{Follow after love} (di(936b)ete t(886e) agap(886e)). As if a
veritable chase. Paul comes back to the idea in  12:31  (same use
of z(886c)oute) and proves the superiority of prophecy to the other
spiritual gifts not counting faith, hope, love of  13:13 . {But
rather that ye may prophesy} (mallon de hina proph(8874)eu(8874)e).
Distinct aim in view as in verse  5 . Old verb from proph(8874)(8873),
common in N.T. Present subjunctive, "that ye may keep on
prophesying."
