1 Corinthians 14:22

Context
NET ©

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.

<571>_:
but
<1161>
prophesying
<4394>
[serveth] not
<3756>
for them that believe not
<571>_,
but
<235>
for them which believe
<4100> (5723)_.
