1 Corinthians 14:6-8

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Speaking In Tongues Is Just Speaking Into The Air Unless It Is Understood

⁶ But now^[a], brothers, if I come to you speaking^[b] in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either^[c] by^[d] a revelation or by knowledge or by a prophecy or by a teaching? ⁷ Likewise the lifeless things giving a sound— whether a flute or harp— if it does not give a distinction in the tones, how will the thing being fluted or the thing being harped be known? ⁸ For indeed, if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
