NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:22 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers. |
Bible Question (short): What are benefits of speaking in tongue? |
Question (full): I work with a young man who is a Jehova Witness who tries to push his faith on me. I back everything up with the Word. He tells me that Tongues are not to be spoken and they w/ pass away and be done away with in 1 Corinthians 13-8, but I feel it is out of context. Can you give me scriptures on the importance of speaking in tongues other than building us up. |
