Mace(i)
19 yet in the church I had rather speak five words that convey my meaning to the instruction of others, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
20 Brethren, be not childish in understanding: be as innocent as babes, but use your understanding like men.
21 in the law it is written, " with men of other tongues and other lips, will I speak unto this people: and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."
22 wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers: but expounding the prophets, not for unbelievers so much as for those who believe.
23 when therefore the whole church is assembled, and all speak different languages, if such as are either unlearned, or are unbelievers should come in, will they not say you are all mad?
24 but if you all expound, and an unbeliever, or one unlearned come in, he is examin'd by all, he is tryed by all:
25 the secrets of his heart become manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is certainly amongst you.
