*
For he that speaketh (
5723 )
in an unknown tongue speaketh (
5719 )
not unto men ,
but unto God :
for no man understandeth (
5719 )
him ;
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh (
5719 )
mysteries .
*
But he that prophesieth (
5723 )
speaketh (
5719 )
unto men to edification ,
and exhortation ,
and comfort .
*
He that speaketh (
5723 )
in an unknown tongue edifieth (
5719 )
himself ;
but he that prophesieth (
5723 )
edifieth (
5719 )
the church .
*
I would (
5719 )
that ye all spake (
5721 )
with tongues ,
but rather that ye prophesied (
5725 ):
for greater is he that prophesieth (
5723 )
than he that speaketh (
5723 )
with tongues ,
except he interpret (
5725 ),
that the church may receive (
5632 )
edifying .
*
Now ,
brethren ,
if I come (
5632 )
unto you speaking (
5723 )
with tongues ,
what shall I profit (
5692 )
you ,
except I shall speak (
5661 )
to you either by revelation ,
or by knowledge ,
or by prophesying ,
or by doctrine ?
*
And even things without life giving (
5723 )
sound ,
whether pipe or harp ,
except they give (
5632 )
a distinction in the sounds ,
how shall it be known (
5701 )
what is piped (
5746 )
or harped (
5746 )?
*
For if the trumpet give (
5632 )
an uncertain sound ,
who shall prepare himself (
5695 )
to the battle ?
*
So likewise ye ,
except ye utter (
5632 )
by the tongue words easy to be understood ,
how shall it be known (
5701 )
what is spoken (
5746 )?
for ye shall (
5704 )
speak (
5723 )
into the air .
*
There are (
5748 ),
it may be (
5630 ),
so many kinds of voices in the world ,
and none of them is without signification (
5625 ).
*
Therefore if I know (
5762 )
not the meaning of the voice ,
I shall be (
5704 )
unto him that speaketh (
5723 )
a barbarian ,
and he that speaketh (
5723 )
shall be a barbarian unto me .
