14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; ^dI will sing praise with my spirit, but I will ^esing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider¹ say ^f“Amen” to ^gyour thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up.

28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.
