1 Corinthians 14:20

Appropriate Use Of Prophecy And Tongues

¹⁹ Yet had I rather, in the congregation, to speak five words with my mind to the information of others, rather than ten thousand words with the tongue. ²⁰ Brethren, be not children in wit. Howbeit, as concerning maliciousness be children: but in wit be perfect. ²¹ In the law it is written, "With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."
