1 Corinthians 14:2-28 ESV / 15 helpful votes

For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? ...

The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. ...
