Discovery Box1 Corinthians 14:12 
Context14:12 It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, 1 seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.
1 Corinthians 14:15
Context14:15 What should I do? 2 I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.
1 Corinthians 14:39
Context14:39 So then, brothers and sisters, 3 be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues. 4
1 Corinthians 15:12
Context15:12 Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, 5 how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 tn Grk “eager for spirits.” The plural is probably a shorthand for the Spirit’s gifts, especially in this context, tongues.
2 tn Grk “what then is it?”
3 tc ‡ μου (mou, “my”) is found after ἀδελφοί (adelfoi) in a number of significant witnesses (א A B* D1 048 326 1175 2464 al), but lacking in most other witnesses (Ì46 B2 D* F G Ψ 0243 33 1739 1881 Ï lat). Every other time Paul says “So then, brothers (and sisters)” he adds “my” (ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου; {wste, adelfoi mou). There is no good reason why scribes would intentionally omit “my” here but not elsewhere. Thus, the longer reading is in conformity with Paul’s general style and as such seems to be scribally motivated. NA27 has the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.
tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
4 tn Grk “speaking in tongues.” The words “anyone from” are supplied for the sake of clarity.
5 tn Grk “that he has been raised from the dead.”
