¹⁸ I thank God that I speak ·in different kinds of languages [or with ecstatic utterance; ^Lin tongues] more than all of you. ¹⁹ But in the church meetings I would rather speak five words ·I understand [^Lwith my mind] in order to teach others than thousands of words ·in a different language [or with ecstatic utterance; ^Lin a tongue].

²⁰ Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like ·babies [infants], but in your thinking you should be ·like adults [mature; grown-up].
