1 Laboure for loue. Couet spirituall giftes, but specially that ye maye prophecye.
2 For he yt speaketh with tunges, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him. Howbeit in ye sprete he speaketh misteries.
3 But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto men to edifienge, & to exhortacion, and to coforte.
4 He that speaketh with tunges, edifieth himselfe: but he that prophecieth, edifieth the cogregacion.
5 I wolde that ye all spake with tunges, but rather that ye prophecied. For greater is he that prophecieth, then he that speaketh wt tuges: excepte he also expounde it, that the congregacion maye haue edifienge.
