16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” aat your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?
17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;
19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers
20 Brethren, ado not be children in understanding; however, in malice bbe babes, but in understanding be mature.
