This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૪:૧૭
કેમ કે તું સારી રીતે સ્તુતિ કરે છે ખરો; પણ તેથી અન્યોની ઉન્નતિ થતી નથી.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १४:१७
तू तो भली भाँति से धन्यवाद करता है, परन्तु दूसरे की उन्नति नहीं होती।

In context

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.

19However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
