1 Corinthians 14:2-5

2For one who 1speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 does not speakG2980 to menG444 but to GodG2316; for noG3762 oneG3762 2understandsG191, but 3in his spiritG4151 he speaksG2980 4mysteriesG3466. 3But one who prophesiesG4395 speaksG2980 to menG444 for 5edificationG3619 and 6exhortationG3874 and consolationG3889. 4One who 7speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 8edifiesG3618 himselfG1438; but one who 9prophesiesG4395 10edifiesG3618 the churchG1577. 5NowG1161 I wishG2309 that you allG3956 11spokeG2980 in tonguesG1100, but 12even moreG3123 that you would prophesyG4395; and greaterG3173 is one who prophesiesG4395 thanG2228 one who 13speaksG2980 in tonguesG1100, unlessG1487G3361 he interpretsG1329, soG2443 that the churchG1577 may receiveG2983 14edifyingG3619.
