1 Corinthians 14:4

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

World English Bible (WEB)

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

Strong's King James

He that speaketh{G2980}{(G5723)} in an unknown tongue{G1100} edifieth{G3618}{(G5719)} himself{G1438}; but{G1161} he that prophesieth{G4395}{(G5723)} edifieth{G3618}{(G5719)} the church{G1577}.

The F.O.G *

(4) One who speaks in a tongue builds himself up but one who prophesies builds up the assembly.

Young's Literal Translation

he who is speaking in an unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;
