1 Corinthians 14:2-5

2For the person who speaks in a tongue is not speaking to people but to God, since no one understands him; he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

3On the other hand, the person who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

4The person who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

5I wish all of you spoke in tongues, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.
