← 1 Corinthians 14:2	1 Corinthians 14:3 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 14:4 →
For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.	But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.	He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
