First letter to the Corinthians 14:6

Brothers and sisters in faith, imagine that I come to you and speak in tongues [that are incomprehensible]. What good will it do you (what benefit and profit will you gain) if I do not give you any:
revelation
or knowledge
or prophecy
or teaching (doctrine)?
[This list goes in pairs. Revelation goes with prophecy, and knowledge with teaching. Revelation comes through the prophet, and knowledge through the teacher. Verse 3 focuses on "edification, encouragement, and comfort," while here in verse 6 comes the next step, "revelation and knowledge," which leads to a deeper faith.]
