thus{G3779} will they{G1522} hear{G1522} me,{G3450} saith{G3004} the Lord.{G2962} 22 Wherefore{G5620} tongues{G1100} are{G1526} for{G1519} a sign,{G4592} not{G3756} to them{G3588} that believe,{G4100} but{G235} to the{G3588} unbelieving:{G571} but{G1161} prophesying{G4394} [is for a sign], not{G571} to the{G3588} unbelieving,{G571} but{G235} to them{G3588} that believe.{G4100} 23 If{G1437} therefore{G3767} the whole{G3650} church{G1577} be assembled together{G4905} and{G2532} all{G3956} speak{G2980} with tongues,{G1100} and{G1161} there come in{G1525} men unlearned{G2399} or{G2228} unbelieving,{G571} will they{G2046} not{G3756} say{G2046} that{G3754} ye are mad?{G3105} 24 But{G1161} if{G1437} all{G3956} prophesy,{G4395} and{G1161} there come in{G1525} one{G5100}
