Wherefore, he that speaketh with a tongue, let him pray that he may translate;

For, if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit, is praying, but, my mind, is unfruitful.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the mind, - I will strike the strings with the spirit, butI will strike the strings also with the mind.

Else, if thou be blessing in a spirit, he that filleth up the place of the ungifted person, how shall he say the Amen upon thy thanksgiving? since indeed, what thou art saying, he knoweth not;

For, thou, indeed, excellently art giving thanks, but, the other, is not being built up.

I give thanks unto God! - More than ye all, am I speaking with tongues;

But, in assembly, I desire to speak five words with my mind, that, others also, I may instruct, than myriads of words in a tongue.
