Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:15

Theological / Devotional

What is it then? What is the correct course for me to follow? A similar form of expression is found in Rom. 3:9 ; 6:15.

With the spirit. That is, in an ecstatic state (see on v. 2).

The Understanding also. Or, “the mind also.” This combination would be true if the speaker in a tongue were able to interpret at the same time (see on v. 5). The interpretation would be in the language of the hearers.
