'Speaks' in the Bible
For the person who speaks in a foreign language is not actually speaking to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, because he is talking about secrets by the Spirit.
But the person who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding, encouragement, and comfort.
The person who speaks in a foreign language builds himself up, but the person who prophesies builds up the church.
Now I wish that all of you could speak in foreign languages, but especially that you could prophesy. The person who prophesies is more important than the person who speaks in a foreign language, unless he interprets it so that the church may be built up.
Therefore, the person who speaks in a foreign language should pray for the ability to interpret it.
If anyone speaks in a foreign language, only two or three at the most should do so, one at a time, and somebody must interpret.
