1. Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy.
2. For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.
3. But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
4. Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church.
5. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification.
