1 Corinthians 14:14-16
Revised Geneva Translation
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is without fruit.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit. but I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Or else, when you bless with the spirit, how shall the one who fills the place of the unlearned say, ‘Amen’, at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not know what you say?

1 Corinthians 14:14-16
New International Version
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,(A) but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit,(B) but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing(C) with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[a] say “Amen”(D) to your thanksgiving,(E) since they do not know what you are saying?
