1 Corinthians 14:3

Appropriate Use Of Prophecy And Tongues

² For, he that speaketh with a tongue, not unto men, doth speak, but, unto God, - for, no one, understandeth, although, in spirit, he is speaking sacred secrets; ³ But, be that prophesieth, unto men, doth speak - edification, and exhortation, and comfort. ⁴ He that speaketh with a tongue, buildeth up, himself, whereas, he that prophesieth, buildeth up, an assembly.
