1 Corinthians 14:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
Using Spiritual Gifts in Love to Benefit the Church
14 Keep on pursuing love, and eagerly seek spiritual gifts, but especially prophecy. 2 For the person who speaks in a tongue[a] speaks to God, not to people. For no one understands him, but he speaks mysteries in the Spirit. 3 However, the person who prophesies speaks to people things that edify, encourage, and comfort.
