1 Corinthians 14:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Then what should I do? There are times when I should pray with my spirit, and times when I should pray with my mind. Sometimes I should sing with my spirit, and at other times I should sing with my mind.

¹⁶ Suppose some strangers are in your worship service, when you are praising God with your spirit. If they don't understand you, how will they know to say, “Amen”? ¹⁷ You may be worshiping God in a wonderful way, but no one else will be helped.
