Whoever speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but whoever prophesies builds up the church. (1 Corinthians 14, 4)

I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than any of you, (1 Corinthians 14, 18)
but in the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, so as to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. (1 Corinthians 14, 19)
It is written in the law: "By people speaking strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to me, says the Lord." (1 Corinthians 14, 21)
