1 Corinthians 14:13-19

13Wherefore let him that speaksG2980 with a tongueG1100 prayG4336 that he may interpretG1329.

14For if I prayG4336 with a tongueG1100, my spiritG4151 praysG4336, but my understandingG3563 isG1510 unfruitfulG175.

15What isG1510 it then? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151, but I will prayG4336 alsoG2532 with the understandingG3563; I will singG5567 with the spiritG4151, but I will singG5567 alsoG2532 with the understandingG3563.

16Since otherwiseG1893, if thou blessest with [the] spiritG4151, howG4459 shall he who fillsG378 the placeG5117 of the simple [Christian] sayG3004 AmenG281, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?

17For thou indeed givest thanksG2168 wellG2573, but the otherG2087 is not edifiedG3618.

18I thankG2168 1GodG2316 I speakG2980 in a tongueG1100 moreG3123 than all of you:

19but in [the] assemblyG1577 I desireG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my understandingG3563, that I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, [ratherG235] than tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.
