1 Corinthians 14:9-19
9SoG3779 alsoG2532 you, unlessG1437G3361 you utterG1325 by the tongueG1100 speechG3056 that is clearG2154, howG4459 will it be knownG1097 what is spokenG2980? For you will be 1speakingG2980 into the airG109. 10There are, perhapsG5177, a greatG5118 manyG5118 kindsG1085 of 2languagesG5456 in the worldG2889, and noG3762 kind is withoutG880 meaningG880. 11IfG1437 thenG3767 I do not knowG3609 the meaningG1411 of the languageG5456, I will be to the one who speaksG2980 a 34barbarianG915, and the one who speaksG2980 will be a 5barbarianG915 6to me. 12SoG3779 alsoG2532 you, sinceG1893 you are zealousG2207 of 7spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 to aboundG4052 for the 8edificationG3619 of the churchG1577.
13ThereforeG1352 let one who speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 prayG4336 that he may interpretG1329. 14For ifG1437 I prayG4336 in a tongueG1100, my spiritG4151 praysG4336, but my mindG3563 is unfruitfulG175. 159WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151 and I will prayG4336 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532; I will 10singG5567 with the spiritG4151 and I will singG5567 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532. 16OtherwiseG1893 ifG1437 you blessG2127 11in the spiritG4151 only, howG4459 will the one who fillsG378 the placeG5117 of the 12ungiftedG2399 sayG3004 13the “AmenG281” at your 14givingG2169 of thanksG2169, sinceG1894 he does not knowG3609 whatG5101 you are sayingG3004? 17For you are givingG2168 thanksG2168 wellG2573 enoughG2573, but the otherG2087 personG2087 is not 15edifiedG3618. 18I thankG2168 GodG2316, I speakG2980 in tonguesG1100 moreG3123 than you allG3956; 19howeverG235, in the churchG1577 I desireG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my mindG3563 soG2443 that I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, ratherG2228 thanG2228 tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.
