1 Corinthians 14:19

Catholic Public Domain Version

But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.

See the chapter Copy

so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.

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

Brothers, do not choose to have the minds of children. Instead, be free of malice like infants, but be mature in your minds.

Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church.
