1 Corinthians 14:19

New Century Version

But in the church meetings I would rather speak five words I understand in order to teach others than thousands of words in a different language.

See the chapter Copy

to help you know that what you have been taught is true.

I thank God that I speak in different kinds of languages more than all of you.

Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like babies, but in your thinking you should be like adults.

The ones who speak in different languages are helping only themselves, but those who prophesy are helping the whole church.
