1 Corinthians 14:4-6

New Living Translation

⁴ A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

⁵ I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy. For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be strengthened.

⁶ Dear brothers and sisters,^[a] if I should come to you speaking in an unknown language,^[b] how would that help you? But if I bring you a revelation or some special knowledge or prophecy or teaching, that will be helpful.
