1 Corinthians 14:7-17

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 1the 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 2talkingG2980 to the airG109. 10There are, perhapsG5177, a greatG5118 manyG5118 kindsG1085 of 3languagesG5456 in the worldG2889, and noneG3762 is incapableG880 ofG880 meaningG880. 11SoG3767 ifG1437 I do not knowG3609 the meaningG1411 of the languageG5456, I will be 4unintelligibleG915 to the one who speaksG2980, and the one who speaksG2980 will be unintelligibleG915 5to me. 12SoG3779 you tooG2532, sinceG1893 you are eagerG2207 toG2207 possessG2207 6spiritualG4151 gifts, striveG2212 to excelG4052 for the 7edificationG3619 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. 158WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151, but I will prayG4336 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532; I will 9singG5567 with the spiritG4151, but I will singG5567 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532. 16ForG1893 otherwiseG1893, ifG1437 you blessG2127 God 10in the spiritG4151 only, howG4459 will the one who occupiesG378 the placeG5117 of the 11outsiderG2399 know to sayG3004 12the “AmenG281” at your 13givingG2169 ofG2169 thanksG2169, sinceG1894 he does not understandG3609 whatG5101 you are sayingG3004? 17For you are givingG2168 thanksG2168 wellG2573 enough, but the otherG2087 personG2087 is not 14edifiedG3618.
