• 1 Cor 14:1-9 : 1 Laboure for loue. Couet spirituall giftes, but specially that ye maye prophecye. 2 For he yt speaketh with tunges, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him. Howbeit in ye sprete he speaketh misteries. 3 But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto men to edifienge, & to exhortacion, and to coforte. 4 He that speaketh with tunges, edifieth himselfe: but he that prophecieth, edifieth the cogregacion. 5 I wolde that ye all spake with tunges, but rather that ye prophecied.
