1 Corinthians 14:7 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14
5 Je désire que vous parliez tous en langues, mais encore plus que vous prophétisiez. Celui qui prophétise est plus grand que celui qui parle en langues, à moins que ce dernier n’interprète, pour que l’Église en reçoive de l’édification.
6 Et maintenant, frères, de quelle utilité vous serais-je, si je venais à vous parlant en langues, et si je ne vous parlais pas par révélation, ou par connaissance, ou par prophétie, ou par doctrine?
7 Si les objets inanimés qui rendent un son, comme une flûte ou une harpe, ne rendent pas des sons distincts, comment reconnaîtra-t-on ce qui est joué sur la flûte ou sur la harpe?
8 Et si la trompette rend un son confus, qui se préparera au combat?
9 De même vous, si par la langue vous ne donnez pas une parole distincte, comment saura-t-on ce que vous dites? Car vous parlerez en l’air.
