1 Corinthians 14:13-19

13Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 151What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will 2sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. 16Otherwise if you bless 3in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the 4ungifted say 5the “Amen” at your 6giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying? 17For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not 7edified. 18I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
