1 Corinthians 14:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

⁶ But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in other languages, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation^(A) or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? ⁷ Even inanimate things that produce sounds—whether flute or harp^(B)—if they don’t make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?
