1 Corinthians 14:4
King James Version
“He that speaketh in an tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.”
Context
1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual but rather that ye may prophesy.
2For he that speaketh in an tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4He that speaketh in an tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
