"For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation. "
— 1 Corinthians 14:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.”
“Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. ”
“Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.”
“So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.”
“And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.”
“For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.”
“Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.”
Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice.
Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me.
So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound.
For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation.
So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit.
What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind.
Otherwise, if you have blessed only with the spirit, how can someone, in a state of ignorance, add an “Amen” to your blessing? For he does not know what you are saying.
