1 Corinthians 14:11

11If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.

11So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible 14:11 Or in my estimationto me.

11If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

11But if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will [appear to] be a 14:11 Lit barbarian, i.e. one who did not speak Greek; especially a person from an uncivilized region whose speech could not be readily translated.foreigner to the one who is speaking [since he knows exactly what he is saying], and the one who is speaking will [appear to] be a foreigner to me.

11If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner14:11 Literally a barbarian; twice in this verse to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

11But if I don’t understand what someone is saying, I am a stranger to the person speaking. And that person is a stranger to me.
