1 Corinthians 14:21 in context
- 19However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
- 20Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
- 21In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even hear me that way, says the Lord.”
- 22Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
- 23If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
