"So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret."
— 1 Corinthians 14:13, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
There are probably many kinds of languages in the world, and none is without meaning.
If then I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.
It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.
So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.
What should I do? 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.
Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift say“Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
