1 Corinthians 14:20-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
20
Brothers
and sisters,
do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
21
In the Law it is written: 'BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME,' says the Lord.
22
So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
King James Version
Chapter 14
20
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21
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.
22
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 14
20
Brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil and adult in your thinking.
21
It is written in the law,
I will speak to this people
by people of other tongues
and by the lips of foreigners,
and even then, they will not listen to me,
says the Lord.
22
Speaking in other tongues, then, is intended as a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
20
Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind.
21
It is written in the Scriptures :
'I will speak to my own people
through strange languages
and through the lips of foreigners.
But even then, they will not listen to me,'
says the
Lord
.
22
So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers.
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
20
Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
21
In the Law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord."
22
Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers.
New International Version
Chapter 14
20
Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
21
In the Law it is written:
"With other tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,
says the Lord."
22
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
New King James Version
Chapter 14
20
Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.
21
In the law it is written:
“With
men of
other tongues and other lips
I will speak to this people;
And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,”
says the Lord.
22
Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
