1 CORINTHIANS 14:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.”
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 — the slide from musical analogy to direct address: the Corinthian glossolalists are literally incomprehensible. Speech (lógos) requires semantic content; otherwise it dissipates without effect.
