13 Por lo cual, el que habla lengua extraña, ore que la interprete

1 Corintios 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 14:13

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue
The Hebrew, or any other, the gift of speaking with which is bestowed upon him:

pray that he may interpret;
that he may have also the gift of interpretation of tongues; for as has been before hinted, these two gifts were distinct; and a man might have the one, and not the other; a man might speak in an unknown tongue, so as to understand himself, what he said, and be edified, and yet not be capable of translating it at once into the common language of the people; and if he could not do this, he would not excel in his gift to the edification of the church; whereas if he could interpret he would, and therefore, above all things, he should pray to the Father of lights, the giver of every good and perfect gift, that he might be furnished with this also.

1 Corintios 14:13 In-Context

11 mas si yo ignorare la virtud de la voz, seré bárbaro al que habla, y el que habla será bárbaro para mí

12 Así también vosotros; pues que anheláis las cosas del Espíritu, procurad ser excelentes para la edificación de la Iglesia

13 Por lo cual, el que habla lengua extraña, ore que la interprete

14 Porque si yo orare en lengua desconocida, mi espíritu ora; mas mi entendimiento es sin fruto

15 ¿Qué pues? Oraré con el espíritu, mas oraré también con entendimiento; cantaré con el espíritu, mas cantaré también con entendimiento
