Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૪:૧૬
નહિ તો જો તું આત્માથી સ્તુતિ કરીશ તો ત્યાં જે ઓછી સમજવાળો માણસ બેઠેલો છે તે તારી સ્તુતિ સાંભળીને આમીન કેવી રીતે કહેશે? કેમ કે તું શું બોલે છે એ તે સમજતો નથી.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १४:१६
नहीं तो यदि तू आत्मा ही से धन्यवाद करेगा, तो फिर अज्ञानी तेरे धन्यवाद पर आमीन क्यों कहेगा? इसलिए कि वह तो नहीं जानता, कि तू क्या कहता है?

In context

14For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

15What should I do? 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.

16Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

17For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

18I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
