19 nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

20 Brothers and sisters,[a] do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults. 21 In the law it is written,

    and by the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people;
    yet even then they will not listen to me,’

says the Lord.
