1 Corinthians 14:4-11

4He that speaksG2980 with a tongueG1100 edifiesG3618 himself; but he that prophesiesG4395 edifiesG3618 [the] assemblyG1577.

5NowG1161 I desireG2309 that ye should all speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, but ratherG3123 that ye should prophesyG4395. But greaterG3173 is he that prophesiesG4395 than he that speaksG2980 with tonguesG1100, unless he interpretG1329, that the assemblyG1577 may receiveG2983 edificationG3619.

6And nowG1161, brethren, if I comeG2064 to you speakingG2980 with tonguesG1100, what shall I profitG5623 you, unless I shall speakG2980 to you either in revelationG602, or in knowledgeG1108, or in prophecyG4394, or in teachingG1322?

7Even lifeless things givingG1325 a soundG5456, whether pipe or harpG2788, if they giveG1325 not distinctionG1293 to the soundsG5456, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 what is piped or harped?

8For alsoG2532, if the trumpetG4536 giveG1325 an uncertain soundG5456, who shall prepare himself for warG4171?

9ThusG3779 alsoG2532 ye with the tongueG1100, unless ye giveG1325 a distinct speechG3056, howG4459 shall it beG1510 knownG1097 what isG1510 spokenG2980? for ye will beG1510 speakingG2980 to the airG109.

10There areG1510, it may beG1510, so manyG5118 kindsG1085 of voicesG5456 in the worldG2889, and noneG3762 of undistinguishable soundG5456.

11If thereforeG3767 I do not know the powerG1411 of the soundG5456, I shall beG1510 to him that speaksG2980 a barbarian, and he that speaksG2980 a barbarian for me.
