14:1-25 Having emphasized the supreme importance of love (ch 13), Paul returns to the subject of spiritual gifts. Their relative value is defined by the benefit they give to others, which is characteristic of love (ch 13). In that light, Paul contrasts the over-valued gift of tongues with the more beneficial gift of prophecy.
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
εἰ τύχοι
if ˱it˲_/might/_happen
Here, doubtless indicates that Paul is assuming that there are so many kinds of languages. He is not arguing this and is not interested in proving it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express doubtless with a comparable word or phrase that refers to something that is assumed to be true. Alternate translation: “assuredly” or “certainly”
οὐδὲν ἄφωνον
not_one_‹kind› silent_‹is›
Here, without meaning could refer to: (1) how all the languages “communicate” clearly among those who know those languages. Alternate translation: “and none communicate nothing” (2) how all the languages use “sound” or “voice” to communicate. Alternate translation: “none is without sound” or “all of them use the voice”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
οὐδὲν ἄφωνον
not_one_‹kind› silent_‹is›
Here Paul uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that means the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: “all have meaning”
