1 Corinthians 14:2-4

Worldwide English (New Testament)

² The person who talks in tongues of a different language does not talk to people, but to God. People do not understand what he says. But he is saying secret things by the Spirit.

³ But the person who is a prophet speaks words from God to people plainly. He helps them to believe and to be strong, and he comforts them.

⁴ The person who talks in a different tongue helps himself. But the one who tells forth God's word helps all the people in the church.
