1 Corinthians 14

Paul compares the spiritual gifts of tongues and prophecy, emphasizing that speaking in tongues is directed to Theos (God) rather than to men and primarily edifies the speaker, while prophecy edifies the entire ekklesia (church).[2] Paul instructs the Corinthians to pursue prophecy over uninterpreted tongues in public worship, to maintain order and maturity in their thinking, and to ensure that unbelievers and the uninformed can understand and be convicted by the gospel message.[1][2]
