1 Corinthians 14:1

Appropriate Use Of Prophecy And Tongues

¹ Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power. ² For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.
