1 Corinthians 14:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ My brothers, if I come to you and talk in tongues of a different language, how can I help you? I cannot help you if I do not tell you something God has shown to me, or something I know, or God's word, or some teaching.

⁷ Such things as horns or harps have no life, but they make sounds. Now if they don't make the right noise, no one will know what the sound means.

⁸ If the war drum gives a sound that has no meaning, then no one will get ready to fight.
