This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૪:૨૦
ભાઈઓ, સમજણમાં બાળક ન થાઓ; પણ દુષ્ટતામાં બાળકો થાઓ, અને સમજણમાં પુખ્ત થાઓ.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १४:२०
हे भाइयों, तुम समझ में बालक न बनो: फिर भी बुराई में तो बालक रहो, परन्तु समझ में सयाने बनो।

In context

18I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

19However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

20Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

21In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”

22Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
