1 Corinthians 14:3-5 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

⁴The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

⁵I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
