1 Corinthians 14:13 Context
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voyce, I shall bee vnto him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a Barbarian vnto mee. 12Euen so ye, forasmuch as yee are zealous of spirituall gifts, seeke that yee may excell to the edifying of the Church. 13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, pray that he may interprete. 14For if I pray in an vnknowen tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my vnderstanding is vnfruitfull. 15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and wil pray with vnderstanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the vnderstanding also.
