1 Corinthians 14:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹yet in the church I would rather speak five words^(A) with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than 10,000 words in another language.

²⁰Brothers, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil and adult in your thinking.^(B) ²¹It is written in the law:

I will speak to these people
by people of other languages
and by the lips of foreigners,
and even then, they will not listen to Me,^(C)^[a]

says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

²⁰Brethren, ^(A)do not be children in understanding; however, in malice ^(B)be babes, but in understanding be mature.

²¹^(C)In the law it is written:

^(D)“With men of other tongues and other lips
I will speak to this people;
And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,”

says the Lord.
