1 Corinthians 14:3 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.

5 Je désire que vous parliez tous en langues, mais encore plus que vous prophétisiez. Celui qui prophétise est plus grand que celui qui parle en langues, à moins que ce dernier n’interprète, pour que l’Église en reçoive de l’édification.
