1 Corinthians 14:26
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
1 Corinthians 14:3
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
1 Corinthians 14:4
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
1 Corinthians 14:5
Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

1 Corinthians 14:16
Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
1 Corinthians 14:17
For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
1 Corinthians 12:31
But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
1 Corinthians 12:1
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12:7
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
1 Corinthians 14:10
There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
