He that speaketh in an {unknown} tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. [Read More]

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant,… Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ{followed…: or, went with them} But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
