Verse List for 1 COR 14:9

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) Similarly with all of you—unless your words are intelligible, how will anyone know what you’re saying? You’ll just be talking to the wind.

OET-LV Thus also you _all through the tongue, if not easily _recognised speech you _all _may _give, how will _be _being _known what is being _spoken?
For/Because you _all _will _be into the_air speaking.

ULT In the same way also you, unless you give intelligible speech with your tongue, how will the thing being spoken be understood? For you will be speaking into the air.

UST Whenever you do not use words that other people recognize when you talk, you are like an instrument that does not make a clear sound. No one will comprehend what you are saying, and you will be like a person who talks to nobody.

BSB & MSB So [it is] with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with [your] tongue, how will [anyone] know what you are saying? You will [ just ] be speaking into [the] air.

BLB So also you, unless you give intelligible speech with the tongue, how will it be known what is being spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

AICNT So also you, through the tongue, if you do not give a clear word, how will what is spoken be known? For you will be speaking into the air.

OEB And so with you; unless, in using the gift of “tongues,” you utter intelligible words, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!

TCNT It is the same with you. If you do not produce intelligible speech with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

LEB And so you through the tongue, unless you produce a clear message, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
