1 Corinthians 14:19

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

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

that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all;

Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be babes in evil, but in thinking be mature.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
