1 Corinthians 14:6 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

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?

7 Ciertamente las cosas inanimadas que hacen sonidos, como la flauta ó la vihuela, si no dieren distinción de voces, ¿cómo se sabrá lo que se tañe con la flauta, ó con la vihuela?

8 Y si la trompeta diere sonido incierto, ¿quién se apercibirá á la batalla?
