1 Corinthians 14:22
ContextNET © | So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. |
NIV © | Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. |
NASB © | So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. |
NLT © | So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers. |
MSG © | So where does it get you, all this speaking in tongues no one understands? It doesn't help believers, and it only gives unbelievers something to gawk at. Plain truth-speaking, on the other hand, goes straight to the heart of believers and doesn't get in the way of unbelievers. |
BBE © | For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet’s word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not. |
NRSV © | Tongues, then, are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers. |
NKJV © | Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. |
