1 Corinthians 14:9-11

Context
14:9 It is the same for you. If you do not speak clearly with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air. 14:10 There are probably many kinds of languages in the world, and none is without meaning. 14:11 If then I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

1 Corinthians 14:16

Context
14:16 Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift 1  say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

1 Corinthians 14:21-22

Context
14:21 It is written in the law: “By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,” 2  says the Lord. 14:22 So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
