1 Corinthians 14

Paul gives instructions on the proper use of the gifts of prophecy and tongues in public worship. He states that prophecy is superior to tongues because it speaks directly to people, strengthening, encouraging, and comforting them. Tongues must be accompanied by an interpreter to be useful. Paul commands that everything in the church must be done in a fitting and orderly way, emphasizing clarity and edification so that everyone present can be strengthened.
