1 Corinthians 14:3-5 New International Version (NIV)

³But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. ⁴Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. ⁵I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,^[a] but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,^[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
