1 Corinthians 14:4 Cross References - WPNT

⁴ The one speaking in a ‘language’ edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the congregation.

¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

¹⁹ So then, let us pursue the things that promote peace and the things by which one may edify another.

² And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

³ But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to people.

⁵ I could wish that you all spoke in ‘languages’, but even more that you might prophesy; because the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in ‘languages’ (unless he interprets), so that the congregation may receive edification.

¹² And you too: since you are zealous for spiritual things, aim at the edification of the congregation, that you may all grow.

¹⁷ You, of course, give thanks quite well, but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thank my God speaking in ‘languages’ more than you all, ¹⁹ but in the congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding, precisely so as to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a ‘language’.

²² Therefore the ‘languages’ are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers; while prophesying is not for unbelievers but for believers.

²⁶ So what goes on, brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a ‘language’, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
