1 Corinthians 14:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ The one who speaks in a different language is helping only himself. But the one who prophesies is helping the whole church. ⁵ I would like all of you to have the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages. But more, I want you to prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the one who can only speak in different languages—unless someone is there who can explain what he says. Then the whole church can be helped.

⁶ Brothers, will it help you if I come to you speaking in different languages? No! It will help you only if I bring you a new truth or some knowledge, or some prophecy, or some teaching.
