1 Corinthians 14:19

English Standard Version 2016

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

See the chapter Copy

The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

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

Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
