This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૪:૪
જે અન્ય ભાષા બોલે છે તે પોતાની ઉન્નતિ કરે છે; પણ જે પ્રબોધ કરે છે તે વિશ્વાસી સમુદાયની ઉન્નતિ કરે છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १४:४
जो अन्य भाषा में बातें करता है, वह अपनी ही उन्नति करता है; परन्तु जो भविष्यद्वाणी करता है, वह कलीसिया की उन्नति करता है।

In context

2For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

4He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

5Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more 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.

6But 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?
