1 CORINTHIANS 14:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?”
So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say you are out of your minds? — the scenario: a non-Christian visitor encounters glossolalia-chaos and concludes the assembly is mad (existánō). Paul's concern is credibility and witness: uncontrolled tongues undermine the gospel's rational persuasiveness.
