1 Corinthians 14:20-22
21st Century King James Version
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding. Nonetheless, in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that they will not hear Me,” saith the Lord.
22 Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to those who believe not; but prophesying serveth not those who believe not, but those who believe.

1 Corinthians 14:20-22
American Standard Version
20 Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be [a]men. 21 In the law it is written, [b]By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.
