Names of God Bible
5 I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church grow. 6 Brothers and sisters, it wouldn’t do you any good if I came to you speaking in other languages, unless I explained revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or doctrine to you.
7 Musical instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. If there is no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

1 Corinthians 14:5-7
New International Version
5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[a] but I would rather have you prophesy.(A) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.(B)
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(C) or knowledge(D) or prophecy or word of instruction?(E) 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?
