1 Corinthians 14:21

---

← 1 Corinthians 14:20	1 Corinthians 14:21 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 14:22 →
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.	In the law it is written, With [men of] other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.	Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
