1 Corinthians 14:19-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ nevertheless, in church I prefer to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Instruction for the Church

^20 (A)Brothers and sisters, ^(B)do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil ^(C)be infants, but in your thinking be mature. ²¹ In ^(D)the ^[a]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 Lord.
