1 Corinthians 14:1–3

Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues

14 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2 For anyone who speaks in a tonguea does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.b 3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
