Exegesis
This is followed by hina {ἵνα | hína} plus the present subjunctive prophēteuēte {προφητεύητε | pro-phē-teú-ē-te}, forming a purpose or preferred-result clause: the higher goal within spiritual pursuits is that they prophesy. In translation, the sequence of imperatives is maintained, while the postpositives are brought forward to standard English conjunction positions (“and,” “but”), and the hina-clause is rendered with “that” or “so that” to express intended aim without obscuring the comparative force of mallon.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:1
Pursue love , and be zealous for the spiritual things, but especially that you may prophesy .
