1 Corinthians 14:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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

²⁰Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults.^(A) ²¹In the law it is written,

“By people of strange tongues
and by the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
yet even then they will not listen to me,”

says the Lord.^(B)
