Greater is he that prophesieth; because his office is more useful to the church, verse 1 Corinthians 14:3.

Except he interpret; from this and verse 1Co 14:13 it is manifest that the two gifts of speaking with tongues and of interpreting them chap 1 Corinthians 12:10, might or might not be possessed by the same person. When a man had the gift of speaking with tongues without the power to interpret them, some think that he was unable to understand his own utterances. But the meaning seems rather to be, that though he spoke intelligibly to himself, he had not the gift of interpreting intelligibly to others. See further on verse 1 Corinthians 14:14.
