1 Corinthians 14:21-22
New American Standard Bible
21 In (A)the [a]Law it is written: “(B)By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me,” says the Lord. 22 So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but (C)prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

1 Corinthians 14:21-22
New International Version
21 In the Law(A) it is written:
“With other tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,(B)
says the Lord.”[a]
22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,(C) however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
