Does anyone know of a clear text distinguishing these two. Tongues and miracles are sign gifts, not meant to build up the church per se. I think I have heard 12:7 as a distinction between manifestations of the spirit (sign gifts) and for the common good (edifying gifts). The distinction does however seem a little forced at least in the NIV/NASV
