1 Corinthians 14:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, [a]pray that he may interpret.
14 [b]For [c]if I pray in a strange tongue, my [d]spirit prayeth: but mine understanding is [e]without fruit.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the [f]understanding also: I will sing with the spirit: but I will sing with the understanding also.
