1 Corinthians 14:6 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

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.

6 Et maintenant, frères, de quelle utilité vous serais-je, si je venais à vous parlant en langues, et si je ne vous parlais pas par révélation, ou par connaissance, ou par prophétie, ou par doctrine?

7 Si les objets inanimés qui rendent un son, comme une flûte ou une harpe, ne rendent pas des sons distincts, comment reconnaîtra-t-on ce qui est joué sur la flûte ou sur la harpe?

8 Et si la trompette rend un son confus, qui se préparera au combat?
