¹²Even so you, since you are ^[a]zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the ^[b]edification of the church that you seek to excel.

¹³Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may ^(A)interpret. ¹⁴For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. ¹⁵What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. ^(B)I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing ^(C)with the understanding. ¹⁶Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” ^(D)at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? ¹⁷For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
