1 Corinthians 14:15

15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; 1I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will 2sing with my mind also.

1 Corinthians 14:15 In-Context

13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret.
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; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.
16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say "Amen" to your 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.
