1 Corinthians 14:17KJV

Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 17 of 40

"For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified."
1 Corinthians 14:17

In context

15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

18I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

19Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an tongue.
