1 Corinthians 14:13-19

13ThereforeG1352, one who speaksG2980 in a tongueG1100 is to prayG4336 that he may interpretG1329. 14For ifG1437 I prayG4336 in a tongueG1100, my spiritG4151 praysG4336, but my mindG3563 is unproductiveG175. 151WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151, but I will prayG4336 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532; I will 2singG5567 with the spiritG4151, but I will singG5567 with the mindG3563 alsoG2532. 16ForG1893 otherwiseG1893, ifG1437 you blessG2127 God 3in the spiritG4151 only, howG4459 will the one who occupiesG378 the placeG5117 of the 4outsiderG2399 know to sayG3004 5the “AmenG281” at your 6givingG2169 ofG2169 thanksG2169, sinceG1894 he does not understandG3609 whatG5101 you are sayingG3004? 17For you are givingG2168 thanksG2168 wellG2573 enough, but the otherG2087 personG2087 is not 7edifiedG3618. 18I thankG2168 GodG2316, I speakG2980 in tonguesG1100 moreG3123 than you allG3956; 19neverthelessG235, in churchG1577 I preferG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my mindG3563 soG2443 thatG2443 I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, ratherG2228 thanG2228 tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.
