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

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.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

For you most assuredly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

But some one will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
