1 Corinthians 14:4 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14
2 Porque el que habla en lenguas, no habla á los hombres, sino á Dios; porque nadie le entiende, aunque en espíritu hable misterios.
3 Mas el que profetiza, habla á los hombres [para] edificación, y exhortación, y consolación.
4 El que habla lengua extraña, á sí mismo se edifica; mas el que profetiza, edifica á la iglesia.
5 Así que, quisiera que todos vosotros hablaseis lenguas, empero más que profetizaseis: porque mayor es el que profetiza que el que habla lenguas, si también no interpretare, para que la iglesia tome edificación.
6 Ahora pues, hermanos, si yo fuere á vosotros hablando lenguas, ¿qué os aprovecharé, si no os hablare, ó con revelación, ó con ciencia, ó con profecía, ó con doctrina?
