1 Corinthians 14:2 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14
1 Recherchez la charité. Aspirez aussi aux dons spirituels, mais surtout à celui de prophétie.
2 En effet, celui qui parle en langue ne parle pas aux hommes, mais à Dieu, car personne ne le comprend, et c’est en esprit qu’il dit des mystères.
3 Celui qui prophétise, au contraire, parle aux hommes, les édifie, les exhorte, les console.
4 Celui qui parle en langue s’édifie lui-même; celui qui prophétise édifie l’Église.
