1 Corinthians 14

¹³ Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

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

¹⁵ What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

¹⁷ You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
