Context
17Mnaweza kuwa mnatoa shukrani kweli, sawa, lakini huyo mtu mwingine hajengeki. 18Namshukuru Mungu kwamba mimi nanena kwa lugha kuliko ninyi nyote. 19Lakini ndani ya kanisa ni afadhali niseme maneno matano ya kueleweka ili niwafundishe wengine kuliko kusema maneno 10,000 kwa lugha. 20Ndugu zangu, msiwe kama watoto katika kufikiri kwenu, afadhali kuhusu uovu mwe kama watoto wachanga, lakini katika kufikiri kwenu, mwe watu wazima. 21Katika Sheria imeandikwa kwamba:
“Kupitia kwa watu wenye lugha ngʼeni
na kupitia midomo ya wageni,
nitasema na watu hawa,
lakini hata hivyo hawatanisikiliza,”
asema Bwana.
