1 Corinthians 14:1-6
-
1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
-
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
-
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
-
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
-
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
-
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
