1 Corinthians 14:14-15

ESV

MSG

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.
14 If I pray in tongues, my spirit prays but my mind lies fallow, and all that intelligence is wasted.
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.
15 So what's the solution? The answer is simple enough. Do both. I should be spiritually free and expressive as I pray, but I should also be thoughtful and mindful as I pray. I should sing with my spirit, and sing with my mind.
