1 Corinthians 14:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ But in the church I’d rather speak five words in my right mind than speak thousands of words in a tongue so that I can teach others.

²⁰ Brothers and sisters, don’t be like children in the way you think. Well, be babies when it comes to evil, but be adults in your thinking. ²¹ In the Law it is written: I will speak to this people with foreign languages and foreigners’ lips, but they will not even listen to me this way,^[a] says the Lord.
