KJV ORIGINAL
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Look, friends — if I show up speaking in tongues, how does that actually help you? It doesn't, unless I'm also bringing you something you can understand: a revelation from God, some knowledge, a prophecy, or solid teaching.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Speaking in ways people can't understand doesn't help anyone — communication that builds people up is what matters.
