    9 so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

    10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

    11 if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

    12 so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

    13 wherefore he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;

    14 for if I pray in an `unknown' tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.

    1 Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

    2 for he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

    3 and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

    4 he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

    5 and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

    6 And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?
