1 Corinthians 14:21-22

Prophecy and Tongues

21 k In the Law it is written, l "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord." 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign 1 not for unbelievers but for believers.
