有些人錯誤的解釋「我若用方言禱告,是我的靈禱告,但我的悟性沒有果效」(林前14:14)。說:所以一定要用靈恩、用靈語禱告,不要單單用悟性禱告,因為「悟性沒有果效」。
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
~
If I pray in an unknown tongue - The apostle, as he did at 1Cor 14:6, transfers it to himself.
林前14:6弟兄們,我到你們那裡去,若只說方言,不用啟示,或知識,或預言,或教訓,給你們講解,我與你們有什麼益處呢?
My spirit prayeth - By the power of the Spirit I understand the words myself.
But my understanding is unfruitful - The knowledge I have is no benefit to others. 但我的悟性沒有果效,是指出:單用方言禱告,旁人聽不懂,無益於人。用悟性,聽到的人懂,就有果效。
I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the understanding also - I will use my own understanding, as well as the power of the Spirit. I will not act so absurdly, as to utter in a congregation what can edify none but myself. 說方言若不能翻譯出來告訴會眾,只對自己有益。
