1 Corinthians 14:13-19

13So anyone who speaks in tongues should pray also for the ability to interpret what has been said.

14For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t understand what I am saying.

15Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit, and I will also pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will also sing in words I understand.

16For if you praise God only in the spirit, how can those who don’t understand you praise God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don’t understand what you are saying?

17You will be giving thanks very well, but it won’t strengthen the people who hear you.

18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than any of you.

19But in a church meeting I would rather speak five understandable words to help others than ten thousand words in an unknown language.
