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.1 Corinthians 14:16Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?1 Corinthians 14:17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.1 Corinthians 14:18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.1 Corinthians 14:19But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
