17For thou verily giuest thankes well: but the other is not edified. 18I thanke my God, I speake with tongues more then you all. 19Yet in the Church I had rather speake fiue words with my vnderstanding, that by my voyce I might teach others also, then ten thousand words in an vnknowen tongue. 20Brethren, bee not children in vnderstanding: how be it, in malice be yee children, but in vnderstanding be men. 21In the Law it is written, With men of other tongues, and other lippes will I speake vnto this people: and yet for all that will they not heare me, saith the Lord.
