1 Corinthians 14:23

---

← 1 Corinthians 14:22	1 Corinthians 14:23 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 14:24 →
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.	If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?	But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
