with a loud voice.

hands, without wrath and doubting.
Why do we have audible praise unto God?

be in my mouth.
Why do we sing in tongues and in English?
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but
my understanding is unfruitful. What is
it then? 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.

with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to education,
exhortation and comfort.

Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the
church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil.
