| 5. Formal Translation But I wish that all of you spoke in tongues, but rather that you might prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless it is interpreted, so that the church may receive edification. |
| 5. Dynamic Translation I want every one of you to speak in tongues, but even more for you to prophesy; the person who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. |
