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 12:7
But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:
1 Corinthians 12:9
To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;
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 14:30
But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet.
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?
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;
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
-----
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 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 14:5
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 14:6
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 14:7
Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?
1 Corinthians 14:8
For if the war-horn gives out an uncertain note, who will get ready for the fight?
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.
1 Corinthians 14:11
But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.
1 Corinthians 14:12
So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.
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 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:
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 14:26
What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
-----
1 Corinthians 13:1
If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.
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 13:3
And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.
1 Corinthians 13:8
Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.
Hebrews 13:9
Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:15
What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.
1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:1
As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:7
And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
-----
2 Timothy 3:16
Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:
-----
2 Timothy 4:2
Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;
-----
Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
