1 Corinthians 14:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,^[a] but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,^[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.

⁶ Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? ⁷ Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
