1 Corinthians 14:1
Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:3
But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.
1 Corinthians 14:4
The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 14:5
Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.
