1 Corinthians 14:18-20
New English Translation
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you, 19 but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Brothers and sisters,[a] do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
