Exegesis
The preference contrast is introduced by mallon de hina {μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα | mâl-lon dé hí-na} with hina + subjunctive propheteuēte {προφητεύητε | pro-phē-TEU-ē-te} forming a purpose clause “rather that you may prophesy.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:5
But I wish that all of you spoke in tongues, but rather that you might prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless it is interpreted, so that the church may receive edification .
