1 Corinthians 14:1-5

Prophecy Superior to Tongues for Edification

1 Corinthians 14:1-5
1
Pursue love! However, keep on eagerly seeking the things of the Spirit; and especially seek to be able to prophesy.
2
For someone speaking in a tongue is not speaking to people but to God, because no one can understand, since he is uttering mysteries in the power of the Spirit.
3
But someone prophesying is speaking to people, edifying, encouraging and comforting them.
4
A person speaking in a tongue does edify himself, but a person prophesying edifies the congregation.
5
I wish you would all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you would all prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless someone gives an interpretation, so that the congregation can be edified.
