1 Corinthians 14:4


← 1 Corinthians 14:3 1 Corinthians 14:4 (KJV) 1 Corinthians 14:5 →
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
