NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:15 What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:15 Then what am I to do? I will pray with the spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me] and I will pray with the mind [using words I understand]; I will sing with the spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me] and I will sing with the mind [using words I understand]. |
Bible Question: WHAT DOES PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT MEAN? |
Bible Answer: In the 1Co 14:15 reference Paul is saying he will use the gift of tongues in both prayer and song and that it was important for him to us it often and religiously, along with praying and singing with understanding. Therefore praying in the sprit is praying in tongues in this instance. I am not saying that praying in the spirit is always exclusive to praying in tongues only, but I don’t know of any scripture that uses that term where praying in tongues would be excluded. retxar |
