1 Corinthians 14:4 in context
- 2For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
- 3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.
- 4He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
- 5Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
- 6But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
