1 Corinthians 14:2


← 1 Corinthians 14:1 1 Corinthians 14:2 (KJV) 1 Corinthians 14:3 →
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
