I thankGod,I speakin tonguesmorethan you all;
For you are giving thankswell enough,but the other personis not edified.
however,in the churchI desireto speakfivewordswith my mindsothat I may instructothersalso,rather thanten thousandwordsin a tongue.
For one who speaksin a tonguedoes not speakto menbut to God;for no oneunderstands,but in [his] spirithe speaksmysteries.
One who speaksin a tongueedifieshimself;but one who prophesiesedifiesthe church.
NowI wishthat you allspokein tongues,but [even] morethat you would prophesy;and greateris one who prophesiesthanone who speaksin tongues,unlesshe interprets,sothat the churchmay receiveedifying.
For whoregards you as superior?Whatdo you havethat you did not receive?And ifyou did receiveit, whydo you boastas ifyou had not receivedit?
