Connecting Statement:

Paul wants the Corinthians to know that though teaching is more important because it instructs people, it must be done with love.

Pursue love

Paul speaks of love as if it were a person. Alternate translation: "Follow after love" or "Work hard to love people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)

especially that you may prophesy

"and work especially hard to be able to prophesy"
