14 If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.
15 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.
16 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?
17 For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,

26 Church 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.

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