Paul wants believers to have prophecy rather than tongues:

• There are 2 types of tongue gifts - personal and interpersonal
• Tongues are edifying for one's own devotion
• The Word of God must be understood to be believed
• Tongues are not understood without an interpreter, so they are not useful in church if there's no interpreter
• Prophecy is a more unifying gift
