1 Corinthians 14:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14

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.

15 Que faire donc? Je prierai par l’esprit, mais je prierai aussi avec l’intelligence; je chanterai par l’esprit, mais je chanterai aussi avec l’intelligence.

16 Autrement, si tu rends grâces par l’esprit, comment celui qui est dans les rangs de l’homme du peuple répondra-t-il Amen! À ton action de grâces, puisqu’il ne sait pas ce que tu dis?

17 Tu rends, il est vrai, d’excellentes actions de grâces, mais l’autre n’est pas édifié.
