Lecture 1 — Prophecy greater than gift of tongues

Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
