1 Corinthians 14:19
But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.
1 Corinthians 14:15
What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.
1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?
1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.
1 Corinthians 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
Acts 19:6
And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.
1 Corinthians 14:3
But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.
1 Corinthians 14:4
He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.
1 Corinthians 14:5
Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:12
So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:13
For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.
1 Corinthians 13:1
If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.
1 Corinthians 14:26
What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
1 Corinthians 14:27
If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:
1 Corinthians 14:28
But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.
-----
1 Corinthians 14:20
My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.
1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 14:22
For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.
1 Corinthians 14:23
If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?
1 Corinthians 14:24
But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;
1 Corinthians 14:25
The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.
Ephesians 5:17
For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure.

Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.
1 Corinthians 11:18
For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.
1 Corinthians 14:31
For you may all be prophets in turn so that all may get knowledge and comfort;
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.
