Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 14:12

14:11 I shall be a barbarian to him - Shall seem to talk unintelligible gibberish.

14:13 That he may be able to interpret - Which was a distinct gift.

14:14 If I pray in an unknown tongue - The apostle, as he did at #1Cor 14:6|, transfers it to himself. 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.
