1 Corinthians 14:19

A Conservative Version

Yet in an assembly I would rather speak five words with my intellect, so that I might also make others understand, than countless words in a tongue.

See the chapter Copy

He who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the congregation.

so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.

I thank my God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

Brothers, become not children in your thoughts. Instead be childlike in wickedness, but in your thoughts become mature.
