弟兄們、我到你們那裡去、若只說方言、不用啟示、或知識、或豫言、或教訓、給你們講解、我與你們有甚麼益處呢。
就是那有聲無氣的物、或簫、或琴、若發出來的聲音、沒有分別、怎能知道所吹所彈的是甚麼呢。
若吹無定的號聲、誰能豫備打仗呢。
你們也是如此、舌頭若不說容易明白的話、怎能知道所說的是甚麼呢.這就是向空說話了。
世上的聲音、或者甚多、卻沒有一樣是無意思的。

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
