13So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.
15What 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.
16Otherwise, 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?
17For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,

1Prophecy and Tongues Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.
2For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.
3But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.
4The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
5I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

26Church Order What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

28But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.
