1 Corinthians 14:7-17

7EvenG1437 thingsG3588 withoutG3361 life, givingG1325 a voiceG5456, whetherG1535 pipe orG2228 harpG2788, ifG1437 theyG1437 giveG1325 notG3361 a distinctionG1293 inG2228 theG3588 soundsG5456, howG4459 shall itG1437 beG2228 knownG1097 whatG3588 is piped orG2228 harped?

8ForG1063 ifG1437 theG2532 trumpetG4536 giveG1325 anG1325 uncertain voiceG5456, whoG5101 shallG2532 prepareG3903 himselfG1519 forG1063 warG4171?

9SoG2532 alsoG2532 ye, unlessG1437 ye utterG1325 byG1223 theG3588 tongueG1100 speechG3056 easy toG1519 beG1510 understoodG1097, howG4459 shallG2532 itG1437 beG1510 knownG1097 whatG3588 isG1510 spokenG2980? forG1063 ye willG1510 beG1510 speakingG2980 intoG1519 theG3588 airG109.

10ThereG1510 areG1510, itG1510 mayG2532 beG1510, soG2532 manyG5118 kindsG1085 ofG5456 voicesG5456 inG1722 theG2532 worldG2889, andG2532 noG3762 kindG1085 isG1510 withoutG2532 signification.

11IfG1437 thenG2532 IG1473 knowG1492 notG3361 theG3588 meaningG1411 ofG1411 theG3588 voiceG5456, IG1473 shallG2532 beG1510 toG2532 himG2532 thatG1437 speaketh aG1510 barbarianG915, andG2532 heG2532 thatG1437 speaketh willG1510 beG1510 aG1510 barbarianG915 unto meG1473.

12SoG2443 alsoG2532 ye, sinceG1893 ye areG1510 zealousG2207 ofG4151 spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 thatG2443 ye mayG2532 aboundG4052 unto theG3588 edifyingG3619 ofG4151 theG3588 churchG1577.

13WhereforeG1352 letG2443 himG2443 thatG2443 speaketh inG2980 a tongueG1100 prayG4336 thatG2443 heG1352 mayG2443 interpretG1329.

14ForG1063 ifG1437 IG1473 prayG4336 inG1161 aG1510 tongueG1100, my spiritG4151 prayeth, butG1161 my understandingG3563 isG1510 unfruitfulG175.

15WhatG5101 isG1510 itG1161 thenG2532? IG2532 willG1510 prayG4336 withG2532 theG3588 spiritG4151, andG2532 IG2532 willG1510 prayG4336 withG2532 theG3588 understandingG3563 alsoG2532: IG2532 willG1510 singG5567 withG2532 theG3588 spiritG4151, andG2532 IG2532 willG1510 singG5567 withG2532 theG3588 understandingG3563 alsoG2532.

16Else ifG1437 thou blessG2127 withG1909 theG3588 spiritG4151, howG4459 shall heG1437 thatG3004 filleth theG3588 placeG5117 ofG4151 theG3588 unlearned sayG3004 theG3588 AmenG281 at thy givingG2169 ofG4151 thanksG2169, seeingG1492 heG1437 knoweth notG3756 whatG5101 thou sayest?

17ForG1063 thou verily givest thanksG2168 wellG2573, butG235 theG3588 otherG2087 is notG3756 edifiedG3618.
