Толкование 1-ое послание к Коринфянам ап. Павла 14 глава 15 стих - Экзегет

In this passage he uses the term “spirit” to refer to the grace given by the Spirit, that is, the ability to speak in tongues. If, he says, I pray prayers in church with the spirit, that is, employing the tongue given by the Spirit, my mind will remain unfruitful. I should pray earnestly and ask God for those things that pertain to salvation. I should not pride myself in speaking in a tongue 198 or concentrate only on speaking in a tongue, since my mind is unfruitful and it derives no benefit from such ambition.
When I sing psalms in a tongue, if I want to be approved and make use of a tongue given by the Spirit and earnestly try not to leave my mind unfruitful but raise up my mind within myself, as it were, then I must sing the psalm no less with my mind as well—that is, I must understand the meaning of the psalm in detail and not allow the words of the prophecy to go unexamined. Therefore, it is better to desire to prophesy or interpret the Holy Scriptures in church than simply to make use of tongues. 200

***
“Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret,” since speaking in tongues by itself would not have the power to build up the church. Here he uses the term spirit to refer to the grace given by the Spirit, that is, the ability to speak in tongues. 198The meaning of this passage is not entirely clear. Yet I will attempt to explain it as best I can. If I want to pray in a tongue, that is, if I want to be approved when I speak in a tongue and to try earnestly not to leave my mind unfruitful, if I want to be someone who does not only speak in a tongue but also rouses my mind within myself when I sing a psalm in a tongue, then I must sing the psalm no less with my mind by understanding the meaning of the psalm and the prophecy, and I must not allow their words to go unexamined. That is because if I should speak empty words, then “I am a noisy gong.” Therefore, it is better to prophesy or to interpret the divine Scriptures in church than simply to make use of tongues. What then will be better? “I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also.” He uses the term “spirit” here to refer to the gifts given by the Spirit. It is his goal to use as many considerations as he needs in order to show that speaking in a tongue is useless unless it is accompanied by the ability to explain the words of the prophet to others. Therefore, he adds additional considerations by which one may see clearly what he is saying. 200
