- 弟兄们,我到你们那里去,若只说方言,不用启示,或知识,或豫言,或教训,给你们讲解,我与你们有什么益处呢。
- 就是那有声无气的物,或箫,或琴,若发出来的声音,没有分别,怎能知道所吹所弹的是什么呢。
- 若吹无定的号声,谁能豫备打仗呢。
- 你们也是如此,舌头若不说容易明白的话,怎能知道所说的是什么呢。这就是向空说话了。
- 世上的声音,或者甚多,却没有一样是无意思的。

- But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
- Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?
- For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
- So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
- There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.
