Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - What is it then? A phrase like the Latin quorsum haec? What is the purport of my exhortations? I will sing. This shows that the glossolaly sometimes took the form of singing. With the understanding also. When we worship or sing we must indeed "worship in spirit," but also worship and "sing praises with understanding" (Psalm 47:7; John 4:24).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) What is it then?--The Apostle, in answering this question--viz., What, then, is the practical conclusion of the whole matter?--still speaks in the first person, quoting his own conduct and resolution. He will not let his public ministrations as regards prayer and praise evaporate into mere enthusiasm; nor will he, on the other hand, allow a cold intellectual creed to chill and freeze the warm emotions of the spirit.
