Exegesis
The conditional protasis is formed by ean me eusemon logon dote {ἐὰν μὴ εὔσημον λόγον δῶτε | eán mḕ eú-sē-mon ló-gon dô-te}, where ean with the aorist subjunctive dote marks a third-class condition, presenting a real but uncertain possibility: “if you do not give.” The adjective eusemon modifies logon and stresses the requirement that the “word” be distinct and recognizable.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:9
So also you, through the tongue, if you do not give a clear word, how will what is spoken be known? For you will be speaking into the air .
