1 Corinthians 14:21-25

21In 1the 2LawG3551 it is writtenG1125: “3By menG2084 ofG2084 strangeG2084 tonguesG2084 and by the lipsG5491 of strangersG2087 I will speakG2980 to thisG3778 peopleG2992, and evenG3761 soG3779 they will not listenG1522 to Me,” saysG3004 the LordG2962. 22SoG5620 thenG5620, tonguesG1100 are for a signG4592, not to thoseG3588 who believeG4100 but to unbelieversG571; but 4prophecyG4394 is not for unbelieversG571, but for thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 gathersG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846 and allG3956 the people speakG2980 in tonguesG1100, and 5outsidersG2399 orG2228 unbelieversG571 enterG1525, will they not sayG3004 that 6you areG3105 insaneG3105? 24But ifG1437 allG3956 7prophesyG4395, and an unbelieverG571 orG2228 an 8outsiderG2399 entersG1525, he is 9convictedG1651 by allG3956, he is calledG350 toG350 accountG350 by allG3956; 2510the secretsG2927 of his heartG2588 are disclosedG5318; and soG3779 he will 11fallG4098 on his faceG4383 and worshipG4352 GodG2316, 12declaringG518 that GodG2316 is certainlyG3689 amongG1722 you.
