NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Subject: Church sound system "way too loud" |
Bible Note: Justme: Thank you for your kind and caring reply. The man I know who has tinnitus, Lee, says that his doctor just recently advised against the use of silicone ear plugs, which he had worn for years. She recommended he stop wearing them altogether. Not only that, but Lee says that when the loudness reaches a certain level, the noise and pain comes right through the ear plugs, which are no longer effective. At a recent southern gospel music concert, he had to leave the building and hang around outside because of the extremely loud volume and the pain it caused. As for any kind of headphones or earphones, that option is out. For more than 20 years now Lee has been unable to wear earphones of any kind. Even at the lowest volume, the headphones caused ear pain. Again I thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to hear that you, too, have this condition. Grace to you, Kalos |
