Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - For if I pray in an unknown language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:15 - What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:16 - Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:17 - For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:18 - I thank my God, I speak in languages more than ye all:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:19 - Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown language.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:37 - If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
