46:014:003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.

46:014:004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he
that prophesieth edifieth the church.

46:014:005 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye
prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that
speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church
may receive edifying.

46:014:006 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what
shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by
revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by
doctrine?

46:014:007 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

46:014:008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

46:014:009 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

46:014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

46:014:011 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

46:014:012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts,
seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
