1 Corinthians 14:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. ¹⁶ Otherwise, if you bless^[a] with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider^[b] say the “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?
