1 Corinthians 14 18-1 Corinthians 14 23
I thank God that I speak in other languages more than all of you;yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than 10,000 words in another language.Brothers, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil and adult in your thinking.It is written in the law: I will speak to these people by people of other languages and by the lips of foreigners, and even then, they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.It follows that speaking in other languages is intended as a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers. But prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.Therefore, if the whole church assembles together and all are speaking in other languages and people who are uninformed or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written above.By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the mystery of the Messiah.This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of His power.This grace was given to me— the least of all the saints— to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of the Messiah,and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.
