1 Corinthians 14:6-14

6But nowG3568, brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1437 I comeG2064 to you speakingG2980 in tonguesG1100, howG5101 will I benefitG5623 you unlessG1437G3361 I speakG2980 to you eitherG2228 by wayG1722 of 1revelationG602, orG2228 of 2knowledgeG1108, orG2228 of 3prophecyG4394, orG2228 of 4teachingG1322? 7YetG3676 even lifelessG895 instruments, whetherG1535 fluteG836 orG1535 harpG2788, in producingG1325 a soundG5456, ifG1437 they do not produceG1325 a distinctionG1293 in the tonesG5353, howG4459 will it be knownG1097 what is playedG832 onG832 theG832 fluteG832 orG2228 on the harpG2789? 8For ifG1437 5the trumpetG4536 producesG1325 an indistinctG82 soundG5456, whoG5101 will prepareG3903 himself for battleG4171? 9SoG3779 you tooG2532, unlessG1437G3361 you produceG1325 intelligibleG2154 speechG3056 by the tongueG1100, howG4459 will it be knownG1097 what is spokenG2980? For you will just be 6talkingG2980 to the airG109. 10There are, perhapsG5177, a greatG5118 manyG5118 kindsG1085 of 7languagesG5456 in the worldG2889, and noneG3762 is incapableG880 ofG880 meaningG880. 11SoG3767 ifG1437 I do not knowG3609 the meaningG1411 of the languageG5456, I will be 8unintelligibleG915 to the one who speaksG2980, and the one who speaksG2980 will be unintelligibleG915 9to me. 12SoG3779 you tooG2532, sinceG1893 you are eagerG2207 toG2207 possessG2207 10spiritualG4151 gifts, striveG2212 to excelG4052 for the 11edificationG3619 of the churchG1577.

13ThereforeG1352, one who speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 is to prayG4336 that he may interpretG1329. 14For ifG1437 I prayG4336 in a tongueG1100, my spiritG4151 praysG4336, but my mindG3563 is unproductiveG175.
