1 Corinthians 14:3

Appropriate Use Of Prophecy And Tongues

² For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one heareth; but in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries; ³ but he that prophesieth speaketh to men edification, and exhortation, and comfort. ⁴ He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
