1 CORINTHIANS 14:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?”
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? — the trumpet summons soldiers to action through intelligible signal. Inarticulate sound, however spiritually valid, cannot mobilize the body. Paul uses military imagery: the church needs clarion calls (prophecy) not merely ecstatic utterance.
