In 1 Cor. 14, it is not speaking in tongues that is emphasized, it is prophesying. It is prophesying that builds the church (v. 4). "Greater is he who prophesies than he who speaks in tongues...(v. 5). Prophesying isn't necessarily foretelling. It is speaking for God, and even speaking God into others like Peter did on the day of Pentecost. God told Ezekiel to eat this scroll, fill your inward parts, and go, speak My words to the house of Israel (Ez. 3:1-4). In Rev. 10:9-11, this same thing was told to the Apostle John. This was called prophesying in v. 11. Jesus said, He who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me (Jn. 6:57). He wasn't talking about cannibalism. He explained that He was talking about His words, which are spirit and life. When we eat His words, we receive the Spirit, and it is the Spirit who gives life (v. 63).
Yeah, thr context is it is better to prophesy in the church than speak in youngest out loud in the church. Generally the language won't be known by the hearers in the church. Unless he who speaks in tongues believes to interpret that the church can receive edifying. The interpretation would be in the language of he people present. Therefore they get edifier. Then entire context of chapter 14 is the proper operation of the manifesting of lounges, interpretation of tounges and prophesy in the church. Corinthians were messing ot up this was pointing that out. Capter 14 says not to forbid speaking in tongues and let all things (in the church) be decent and in order. It's all there. In context.
