1 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 14:13 In-Context

11 Si donc je ne sais ce que ces mots signifient, je serai un barbare pour celui qui parle, et celui qui parle sera un barbare pour moi.

12 Ainsi, puisque vous désirez avec ardeur les dons spirituels, cherchez à en avoir abondamment pour l'édification de l'Église.

13 C'est pourquoi, que celui qui parle une langue, demande le don de l'interpréter.

14 Car, si je prie dans une langue, mon esprit prie, mais mon intelligence est sans fruit.

15 Qu'y a-t-il donc à faire? Je prierai par l'esprit, mais je prierai aussi par l'intelligence. Je chanterai par l'esprit, mais je chanterai aussi par l'intelligence.
