KJV ORIGINAL
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
So here's the thing about speaking in tongues — it's actually a sign meant for people who don't believe yet, not for those who already do. But prophecy? That's the opposite — it's meant to build up believers, not to convince outsiders.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Speaking in tongues reaches skeptics, but prophecy feeds the faithful.
