1 Corinthians 14:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 The one who (A)speaks in a tongue (B)edifies himself; but the one who (C)prophesies (D)edifies the church. 5 Now I wish that you all (E)spoke in tongues, but (F)rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who (G)speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive (H)edification.
6 But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of (I)revelation, or of (J)knowledge, or of (K)prophecy, or of (L)teaching?

6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation(F) or knowledge(G) or prophecy or word of instruction?(H)
