- 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.
