1 Corinthians 14:5 QELW DE PANTAS hUMAN LALEIN GLWSSAIS MALLOM DE HINA PROFHTEUTE
I don't think your friends view would work to well because DE HINA PROFHTEUTE is parellel with QELW DE PANTAS hUMAN LALEIN.
i.e. I want you all to speak in tongues = but even more I want you even more to prophesy. In both cases the subjuntive and the infinitive are complements. So if LALEIN is to be done 24/7 so should PROFHTEUTE be done 24/7 which is seems to be impossible.
