¹⁴ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.

² For ^(A)one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

¹⁵ What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; ^(A)I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will ^(B)sing with my mind also. ¹⁶ Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider^[a] say ^(C)“Amen” to ^(D)your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?

¹⁹ Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
