"In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified. "
— 1 Corinthians 14:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.”
“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. ”
“For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.”
“For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.”
“For thou indeed givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.”
“For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.”
“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.”
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.
In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
I thank my God that I speak in tongues for all of you.
But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.
Brothers, do not choose to have the minds of children. Instead, be free of malice like infants, but be mature in your minds.
