1 Corinthians 14:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 But the one prophesying is speaking edification and exhortation and consolation[a] to people. 4 The one speaking in a tongue is edifying himself [b], but the one prophesying is edifying the church. 5 And I wish[c] that you all were speaking in tongues, but even-more[d] that you might be prophesying. But[e] the one prophesying is greater[f] than one speaking in tongues— unless[g] he interprets in order that the church may receive edification.
