New International Version

1 Corinthians 14:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

1. Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

2. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

3. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
