American Standard Version

1 Corinthians 14:17-21 American Standard Version (ASV)

17. For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

18. I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:

19. howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

20. Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

21. In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
