1 Corinthians 14:3 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

1 Segui o amor, e desejai com zelo pelos [dons] espirituais; porém principalmente que profetizeis.

2 Porque o que fala língua [estranha] , não fala aos seres humanos, mas sim a Deus; porque ninguém [o] entende, mas em espírito fala mistérios.

3 Mas o que profetiza, fala aos seres humanos [para] edificação, convencimento, e consolação.

4 O que fala língua [estranha] edifica a si mesmo; mas o que profetiza edifica à igreja.

5 E eu quero que todos vós faleis línguas, porém mais [ainda] que profetizeis; porque o que profetiza é maior que o que fala línguas, a não ser que [também] interprete, para que a igreja receba edificação.
