Evidently, worship was being disrupted by spiritual gift practitioners. Sort of a battle of the gifts. Selfish. If you disrupt worship, it is selfish and not in keeping with love.

1 Corinthians 14
Paul now gets back to the practical application of love (missing from the Corinthian church.) "Tongues" is a gift where a person speaks in a spiritual voice not understood by the general public. Paul has this gift but he says that it amounts to nothing if no one will let others in on what is being said spiritually. Love demands that we think of others first. Gifts should "build up" people and the church.
