1 Corinthians 14:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
In context
1 Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
4 The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5 I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
