³ But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,^(A) encouraging^(B) and comfort. ⁴ Anyone who speaks in a tongue^(C) edifies^(D) themselves, but the one who prophesies^(E) edifies the church. ⁵ I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,^[a] but I would rather have you prophesy.^(F) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,^[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.^(G)
