Language: Interpretation of Most Important in the Early Church

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.

Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
