1 Corinthians 14:15-20
14:15 What should I do?
1 I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.
14:16 Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift
2 say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
14:17 For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.
14:18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,
14:19 but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
14:20 Brothers and sisters, 3 do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
1 tn Grk “what then is it?”
2 tn Grk “how can someone who fills the place of the unlearned say ‘Amen.’”
3 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
