Covet, To.


In 1 Cor. 12: 31; 1 Cor. 14: 39, the word is ζηλω , and is quite different from the coveting that is condemned in scripture; it is translated in Rev. 3: 19 'be zealous,' and the above passages in Corinthians can be so translated, or 'desire earnestly' the best gifts, and 'desire earnestly' to prophesy.
