Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. |
What is the result then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. |
What is the outcome then? I shall pray with the spirit and I shall pray with the mind also; I shall sing with the spirit and I shall sing with the mind also. |
So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. |
Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me] but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also. |
How, therefore, does the matter stand? I will pray by means of my spirit. But I will pray also with the aid of my intellect. I will sing by means of my spirit. But I also will sing with the aid of my intellect. |
I am therefore determined to pray with my spirit and my mind, and if I sing I will sing with both spirit and mind. |
What is my conclusion then? I will certainly pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind in action too. I will certainly sing with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind in action too. |
