1 Corinthians 14:20-22
World English Bible
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature. 21 In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even hear me that way, says the Lord.”
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.
