1 Corinthians 14:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ But one who prophesies is speaking to people. He gives people strength, encouragement, and comfort. ⁴ The one who speaks in a different language is helping only himself. But the one who prophesies is helping the whole church. ⁵ I would like all of you to have the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages. But more, I want you to prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the one who can only speak in different languages—unless someone is there who can explain what he says. Then the whole church can be helped.
