Paul answers two questions:
1. What is the purpose of spiritual gifts?
Answer: Build up the church, not ourselves
2. What is the goal of the gifts?
Answer: To show unbelievers that "God is really among you."
Paul's discussion is more complicated than this, but essentially, because the church at Corinth had forgotten the purpose of the gifts, they had elevated one gift above all the others - tongues. God's purpose in the gifts is for unbelievers to find faith.
How can we use our gifts for the benefit of unbelievers?
