1 Corinthians 14:5


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.


World English Bible (WEB)

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.


Strong's King James

{G1161} I would{G2309}{(G5719)} that ye{G5209} all{G3956} spake{G2980}{(G5721)} with tongues{G1100}, but{G1161} rather{G3123} that{G2443} ye prophesied{G4395}{(G5725)}: for{G1063} greater{G3187} is he that prophesieth{G4395}{(G5723)} than{G2228} he that speaketh{G2980}{(G5723)} with tongues{G1100}, except{G1622}{G1508} he interpret{G1329}{(G5725)}, that{G2443} the church{G1577} may receive{G2983}{(G5632)} edifying{G3619}.


The F.O.G *

(5) Now I want all you to speak in tongues but more so that you would prophecy. Greater is the one who prophesies than one speaking in tongues, unless perhaps being interpreted so that the assembly maybe receives a building up.


The F.O.G Message *


Young's Literal Translation

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
