1 Corinthians 14:14-16
New International Version
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?
