12 It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.

Darby

12 Thus *ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits^D8337, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.

Darby Bible Notes

spirits - 'Spiritual gifts,' though in sum the sense, deprives the phrase of its force here. As Gentiles, they were in danger of confounding demons' action with the Holy Spirit; and they did not adequately hold the unity of the Spirit, but looked for a spirit's power and action to distinguish themselves. The apostle was obliged to point out the difference between demons and the Holy Spirit. But the word further tends to show the reality of a personal spirit acting, though for the Christian there be but one, the Spirit of God.

KJV

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual^K6941[gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
