4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue(A) edifies(B) themselves, but the one who prophesies(C) edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[a] but I would rather have you prophesy.(D) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.(E)
