1 Corinthians 14:9 Context
7And euen things without life giuing sound, whether pipe or harpe, except they giue a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped? 8For if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to the battell? 9So likewise you, except ye vtter by the tongue words easie to be vnderstood, how shall it be knowen what is spoken? for ye shall speake into the aire. 10There are, it may bee, so many kindes of voices in the world, and none of them are without signification. 11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voyce, I shall bee vnto him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a Barbarian vnto mee.
