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.

New King James Version
Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers
20 Brethren, (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.
22 Therefore tongues are for a (E)sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
