1 Corinthians 14:18-25

18I thankG2168 GodG2316 that I speakG2980 in tonguesG1100 moreG3123 than allG3956 of youG4771. 19ButG235 inG1722 the churchG1577, I would ratherG2309 speakG2980 fiveG4002 coherentG1473G3588G3563 wordsG3056 toG2443 instructG2727 othersG243 thanG2228 ten thousandG3463 wordsG3056 inG1722 a tongueG1100.

20BrothersG80, stopG3361 thinkingG5424 like childrenG1096G3813. InG3588 regard to evilG2549 be infantsG3515, butG1161 inG3588 your thinkingG5424 beG1096 matureG5046. 21It is writtenG1125 inG1722 theG3588 LawG3551:

“ByG1722 strange tonguesG2084 andG2532 foreignG2087 lipsG5491I will speakG2980 to thisG3778 peopleG2992,but evenG3761 thenG3779 they will not listen toG1522 MeG1473,saysG3004 the LordG2962.”1

22TonguesG1100, thenG5620, areG1510 a signG4592, notG3756 forG3588 believersG4100, butG235 forG3588 unbelieversG571. ProphecyG4394, howeverG235, is forG3588 believersG4100, notG3756 forG3588 unbelieversG571.

23SoG3767 ifG1437 theG3588 wholeG3650 churchG1577 comesG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846 andG2532 everyoneG3956 speaksG2980 in tonguesG1100, andG1161 some who are uninstructedG2399 orG2228 some unbelieversG571 come inG1525, will they not sayG3756G2046 thatG3754 you are out of your mindsG3105? 24ButG1161 ifG1437 anG5100 unbelieverG571 orG2228 uninstructed personG2399 comes inG1525 whileG1161 everyoneG3956 is prophesyingG4395, he will be convictedG1651 and called to accountG350 byG5259 allG3956, 25and theG3588 secretsG2927 ofG3588 hisG846 heartG2588 will beG1096 made knownG5318. SoG2532G3779 he will fallG4098 facedownG1909G4383 and worshipG4352 GodG2316, proclaimingG518, “GodG2316 isG1510 trulyG3689 amongG1722 youG4771!”
