1 Corinthians 14:3

Appropriate Use Of Prophecy And Tongues

² For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. ³ But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men, to edifying, to exhortation, and to comfort. ⁴ He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation.
