1 Corinthians 14:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14
10 Quelque nombreuses que puissent être dans le monde les diverses langues, il n’en est aucune qui ne soit une langue intelligible;
11 si donc je ne connais pas le sens de la langue, je serai un barbare pour celui qui parle, et celui qui parle sera un barbare pour moi.
12 De même vous, puisque vous aspirez aux dons spirituels, que ce soit pour l’édification de l’Église que vous cherchiez à en posséder abondamment.
13 C’est pourquoi, que celui qui parle en langue prie pour avoir le don d’interpréter.
14 Car si je prie en langue, mon esprit est en prière, mais mon intelligence demeure stérile.
