1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
--------------------
1 Corinthians 14:1
Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
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 14:13
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:15
What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
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 14:19
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.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:9
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.
1 Corinthians 14:11
If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 14:22
Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
1 Corinthians 14:23
If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
1 Corinthians 14:24
But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:27
If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:28
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
