1 CORINTHIANS 14:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort — prophecy alone serves the gathered body's upbuilding (oikodomeó: construction/strengthening). The three functions—strengthening, encouragement, comfort—address the whole person: will, emotions, and spirit. Prophecy is therefore the supremely practical charism.
