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 14:4
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 14:1
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 14:5
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 14:24
But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;
1 Corinthians 14:31
For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort;
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 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 14:12
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 14:15
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 14:18
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 14:26
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 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.
