1 Corinthians 14:5; 1 Corinthians 14:12; 1 Corinthians 14:17; 1 Corinthians 14:26

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.

12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.

26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
