1 Corinthians 14:1-6
11PursueG1377 loveG26, yetG1161 earnestlyG2206 2desireG2206 3spiritualG4152 gifts, but especiallyG3123 that you may 4prophesyG4395. 2For the one who 5speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 does not speakG2980 to peopleG444, but to GodG2316; for noG3762 oneG3762 6understandsG191, but 7in his spiritG4151 he speaksG2980 8mysteriesG3466. 3But the one who prophesiesG4395 speaksG2980 to peopleG444 for 9edificationG3619, 1011exhortationG3874, and consolationG3889. 4The one who 12speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 13edifiesG3618 himselfG1438; but the one who 14prophesiesG4395 15edifiesG3618 the churchG1577. 5NowG1161 I wishG2309 that you allG3956 16spokeG2980 in tonguesG1100, but 17ratherG3123 that you would prophesyG4395; and greaterG3173 is the one who prophesiesG4395 thanG2228 the one who 18speaksG2980 in tonguesG1100, unlessG1622G1487G3361 he interpretsG1329, soG2443 thatG2443 the churchG1577 may receiveG2983 19edificationG3619.
6But nowG3568, brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1437 I comeG2064 to you speakingG2980 in tonguesG1100, howG5101 will I benefitG5623 you unlessG1437G3361 I speakG2980 to you eitherG2228 by wayG1722 of 20revelationG602, orG2228 of 21knowledgeG1108, orG2228 of 22prophecyG4394, orG2228 of 23teachingG1322?
