Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
14:13 Paul does not forbid speaking in tongues (see 14:39), but the ability to interpret is crucial, especially in public worship (see 14:27-28).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ, προσευχέσθω
the_‹one› speaking ˱in˲_/a/_tongue /let_be/_praying
Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should” or “must.” Alternate translation: [the one speaking in tongues must pray]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ
the_‹one› speaking ˱in˲_/a/_tongue
Paul is speaking of people “speaking in tongues” in general, not of one particular person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to people in general. Alternate translation: [anyone who speaks in a tongue]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
διερμηνεύῃ
˱he˲_/may_be/_interpreting
Here Paul omits what the person is going to interpret since he already stated it in the previous clause (a tongue). If you need to specify what the person will interpret, you could include a reference to the tongue here. Alternate translation: [he might interpret it] or [he might interpret what he said in the tongue]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
διερμηνεύῃ
˱he˲_/may_be/_interpreting
Although he is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express he with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [he or she might interpret]
