1 Corinthians 14:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
20 (A)Brothers, (B)do not be children in your thinking; rather in evil (C)be infants, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In (D)the Law it is written, “(E)By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me,” says the [a]Lord. 22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but (F)prophecy is for a sign not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

1 Corinthians 14:20-22
English Standard Version
20 Brothers, (A)do not be children in your thinking. (B)Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be (C)mature. 21 (D)In the Law it is written, (E)“By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign[a] not for unbelievers but for believers.
