New International Version

1 Corinthians 14:19-23 New International Version (NIV)

19. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

20. Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

21. In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

22. Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

23. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
