1 Corinthians 14:19
However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

1 Corinthians 14:13
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:15
What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1 Corinthians 14:16
Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
1 Corinthians 14:17
For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:3
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
1 Corinthians 14:4
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

1 Corinthians 14:20
Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 14:22
Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
