Now, why would Paul tell them to strongly desire the “greater” gifts if they already had been given all they would be given, and there was no further opportunity of gaining these greater gifts? It may lead one to believe that even as Solomon sought wisdom from God in order to be a good ruler over God’s people, so God will grant to us those gifts we need in order to be of greater benefit to His church.
Sasa, ni kwa nini Paulo anawaambia kwa nguvu watamanie karama "kuu" kama tayari walikwisha pewa karama zote, na hakukua na nafasi zaidi ya kupata karama zaidi? Inaweza kusababisha mmoja kuamini kwamba hata kama Suleimani alitaka hekima kutoka kwa Mungu ili kuwa kiongozi mzuri juu ya watu wa Mungu, hivyo Mungu utupa karama tunazohitaji ili kuwe na faida kubwa kwa kanisa lake.
