 4He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the assembly.

 16Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?
 17For *thou* indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

 25the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon his face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you. (1 Cor. 14:1‑25)
