Both tongues and prophecy are listed as gifts of the Spirit (whether publicly or privately).

No theologian will deny that the Book of Acts relates to the events showing the birth of the church. We read Peter identifying that the Gentiles received the Holy Ghost just like they did because he heard them speak in tongues. (
Acts 10:45-46)
We then have instructions written "
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth" (
I Cor 1) on how to operate the spiritual gifts.
"divers" is not in the original manuscript, therefore, I would have to read that as "kinds of tongues". It is just a language that isn't naturally acquired. The "kinds" of tongues are followed by interpretation. That shows that they are tied together - "interpretation of tongues". (Acts
I Cor 12:10)
