1 Corinthians 14:21 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

19 Porém eu quero [mais] falar na igreja cinco palavras com meu entendimento, para que eu também possa instruir aos outros, do que dez mil palavras em língua [estranha] .

20 Irmãos, não sejais meninos no entendimento, mas sede meninos na malícia, e adultos no entendimento.

21 Na Lei está escrito: A este povo falarei por gente de outras línguas, e por outros lábios; e ainda assim não me ouvirão, diz o Senhor.

22 Então as línguas [estranhas] são por sinal, não para os que creem, mas para os que não creem; e a profecia não é para os que não creem, mas para os que creem.

23 Pois se toda a igreja se reunir, e todos falarem línguas [estranhas] , e entrarem alguns sem entendimento ou descrentes, não dirão que estais loucos?
