1 Corinthians 14:19
New International Version
19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.(A)
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.
