1 Corinthians 14:16

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Think about it — if you're praying or giving thanks in a way that only you understand, how is someone who doesn't know what you're saying supposed to agree with you? They can't say 'Amen' to something they don't get.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Make sure people can actually follow along when you're leading them in prayer.
