Holman Christian Standard Bible
Even inanimate things that produce sounds  — whether flute or harp  — if they don’t make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?

New American Standard Bible
Yet [even] lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

King James Bible
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? International Standard Version
In the same way, lifeless instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. But if there's no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

American Standard Version
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

Young's Literal Translation
yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?1 Corinthians 14:7 • 1 Corinthians 14:7 NIV • 1 Corinthians 14:7 NLT • 1 Corinthians 14:7 ESV • 1 Corinthians 14:7 NASB • 1 Corinthians 14:7 KJV • 1 Corinthians 14:7 Commentaries • 1 Corinthians 14:7 Bible Apps • 1 Corinthians 14:7 Biblia Paralela • 1 Corinthians 14:7 Chinese Bible • 1 Corinthians 14:7 French Bible • 1 Corinthians 14:7 German Bible
