But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.
1 Corinthians 14:3 In-Context
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.
4
Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
