# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Having just talked about the gifts that God gave to believers, Paul emphasizes what is more important.
|
|
|
|
# the tongues of ... angels
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) Paul is exaggerating for the sake of effect and does not believe that people speak the language that angels use or 2) Paul thinks that some who speak in tongues actually speak the language that angels use. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])

# I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal
|
|
|
|
I have become like instruments that make loud, annoying sounds (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# gong
|
|
|
|
a large, thin, round metal plate that is hit with a padded stick to make a loud sound (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])
|
|
|
|
# a clanging cymbal
|
|
|
|
two thin, round metal plates that are hit together to make a loud sound (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])
|
|
|
|
# I give my body to be burned
|
|
|
|
The phrase "to be burned" can be made active. AT: "I allow those who persecute me to burn me to death" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
