I would gladly see you all speaking with strange tongues, but I would rather you should prophesy, because the prophet ranks higher than the man who speaks with strange tongues. It would be different if he could translate them, to strengthen the faith of the church; (1 Corinthians 14, 5)
but as things are, brethren, what good can I do you by coming and talking to you in strange languages, instead of addressing you with a revelation, or a manifestation of inner knowledge, or a prophecy, or words of instruction? (1 Corinthians 14, 6)
Senseless things may be vocal, a flute, for example, or a harp; but even with these, there must be distinctions between the sounds they give, or how can we recognize what melody flute or harp is playing? (1 Corinthians 14, 7)
No doubt all these different languages exist somewhere in the world, and each of them has its significance; (1 Corinthians 14, 10)

the man who can speak in a strange tongue should pray for the power to interpret it. (1 Corinthians 14, 13)
If I use a strange tongue when I offer prayer, my spirit is praying, but my mind reaps no advantage from it. (1 Corinthians 14, 14)
Thou, true enough, art duly giving thanks, but the other’s faith is not strengthened. (1 Corinthians 14, 17)
Brethren, do not be content to think childish thoughts; keep the innocence of children, with the thoughts of grown men. (1 Corinthians 14, 20)
We read in the law, I will speak to this people with an unknown tongue, with the lips of strangers, and even so they will not listen to me, says the Lord.✻ (1 Corinthians 14, 21)
Thus talking with a strange tongue is a sign given to unbelievers, not to the faithful; whereas prophecy is meant for the faithful, not for unbelievers. (1 Corinthians 14, 22)
