ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૪:૧૧
એ માટે જો હું અમુક ભાષાનો અર્થ ન જાણું, તો બોલનારની સમક્ષ હું પરદેશી જેવો અને બોલનાર મારી આગળ પરદેશી જેવો થશે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १४:११
इसलिए यदि मैं किसी भाषा का अर्थ न समझूँ, तो बोलनेवाले की दृष्टि में परदेशी ठहरूँगा; और बोलनेवाला मेरी दृष्टि में परदेशी ठहरेगा।

In context

9So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

10There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

11If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

12So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

13Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
