1 Corinthians 14:8 in context
- 6But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
- 7Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
- 8For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
- 9So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
- 10There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
