NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:19 however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:19 nevertheless, in public worship I would rather say five understandable words in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue [which others cannot understand]. |
Subject: Why five words? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, The difference between ten thousand and five isn't what is important. If that were the case Paul should have used the number one. What is important is that the ten thousand were not understood and the five can be if sought out. Sooner, Ray P.S. There is a difference between numerology and the significance of numbers in the bible. |
