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 14:5
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 14:12
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 14:26
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 14:27
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 14:28
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 14:31
For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort;

1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.

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 14:24
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 14:25
The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.
