1 Corinthians 14:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² I will explain why. One who has the gift of speaking in a different language is not speaking to people. He is speaking to God. No one understands him—he is speaking secret things through the Spirit. ³ But one who prophesies is speaking to people. He gives people strength, encouragement, and comfort. ⁴ The one who speaks in a different language is helping only himself. But the one who prophesies is helping the whole church.
