1 Corinthians 14:19-21

New English Translation

¹⁹ but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

²⁰ Brothers and sisters,^[a] do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. ²¹ It is written in the law: “By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,”^[b] says the Lord.
