Exegesis
The object of knowing is expressed by the accusative phrase tēn dynamin tēs phōnēs {τὴν δύναμιν τῆς φωνῆς | tḕn dý-na-min tês phō-nês}, literally “the power of the voice,” where the genitive tēs phōnēs modifies dynamin and in context conveys the meaningful content or significance of the sound.
Root and etymology
phōnēphi–omega–nu–eta
“sound, voice”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:11
Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the voice, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a foreigner to me.
