An individual told me that 1 Corinthians 12:31 is to be understood as an indicative rather than an imperative. So to paraphrase, rather than saying, "You should earnestly desire the higher gifts," it says, "You currently earnestly desire the higher gifts." He said this understanding of the verse is based on its context.
Could someone who understands the original text explain the validity or falsehood of the statement, please?
