1 Corinthians 14:2-5

New International Version

² For anyone who speaks in a tongue^[a](A) does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them;^(B) they utter mysteries^(C) by the Spirit. ³ But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,^(D) encouraging^(E) and comfort. ⁴ Anyone who speaks in a tongue^(F) edifies^(G) themselves, but the one who prophesies^(H) edifies the church. ⁵ I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,^[b] but I would rather have you prophesy.^(I) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,^[c] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.^(J)
