1 Corinthians 14:5
Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

--------------------

1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

1 Corinthians 14:3
But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

1 Corinthians 14:4
He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

1 Corinthians 14:6
But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

1 Corinthians 14:13
For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.

1 Corinthians 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

1 Corinthians 14:19
But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:1
Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

1 Corinthians 12:10
And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

1 Corinthians 12:28
And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:29
Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?

1 Corinthians 12:30
Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

1 Corinthians 14:39
So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

1 Thessalonians 5:20
Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

Romans 12:6
And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

1 Corinthians 13:9
For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

1 Corinthians 14:27
If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

1 Corinthians 14:31
For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort;

1 Corinthians 13:2
And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

1 Corinthians 14:29
And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

Acts 2:17
And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

1 Timothy 1:4
Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:22
For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

1 Corinthians 14:23
If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

-----

1 Corinthians 11:4
Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

1 Corinthians 14:28
But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

1 Corinthians 14:9
So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air.

1 Corinthians 14:10
There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense.
