1 Corinthians 14:1
Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
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 14:12
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

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 14:21
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?
