1 Corinthians 14:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ You may be thanking God ·in a good way [well enough], but the other person is not ·helped [edified; built up].

¹⁸ I thank God that I speak ·in different kinds of languages [or with ecstatic utterance; ^Lin tongues] more than all of you. ¹⁹ But in the church meetings I would rather speak five words ·I understand [^Lwith my mind] in order to teach others than thousands of words ·in a different language [or with ecstatic utterance; ^Lin a tongue].
