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 understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries: ³ Whereas he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. ⁴ He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
