1 Corinthians 14:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 14
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
