Haweis(i)
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; although in spirit he speaketh mysterious truths.
3 But he that prophesieth, addresseth men for edification, and exhortation, and consolation.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
5 Now I could wish that you all spake with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret also, that the church may receive edification.
6 Now I, brethren, if I should come unto you, speaking in unknown languages, what should I profit you, unless I should speak to you [intelligibly] by revelation, or by science, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?
7 In like manner things inanimate, giving sound, whether the pipe, or the harp, unless they express a distinction in their tones, how shall it be known what is piped, or what is harped?
8 For if the trumpet also give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?
9 So also ye, unless with the tongue you speak an intelligible discourse, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will speak to the air.
10 For though there are so many different kinds of languages in the world, yet is not one of them without its meaning.
11 If therefore I know not the force of the expression, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.
