1 Corinthians 14:2-5

2ForG1063 he whoG3588 speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 does not speakG3756G2980 to menG444, butG235 to GodG2316. IndeedG1063, no oneG3762 understandsG191 him; he uttersG2980 mysteriesG3466 in the SpiritG4151. 3ButG1161 he whoG3588 prophesiesG4395 speaksG2980 to menG444 for their edificationG3619, encouragementG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889. 4TheG3588 one who speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 edifiesG3618 himselfG1438, butG1161 theG3588 one who prophesiesG4395 edifiesG3618 the churchG1577.

I wish thatG2309 allG3956 of youG4771 could speakG2980 in tonguesG1100, butG1161 I would ratherG3123 haveG2443 you prophesyG4395. He whoG3588 prophesiesG4395 is greaterG3173 thanG2228 one who speaksG2980 in tonguesG1100, unlessG1622G1487G3361 he interpretsG1329 so thatG2443 theG3588 churchG1577 may beG2983 edifiedG3619.
