Translation

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you do.

Paraphrase

I count it a blessing from God that I, more frequently than you, have the privilege of receiving a burden from God and responding to it by privately praying in tongues with groans, sighs, and tears. I keep it private because that is where it belongs, in part so as to avoid being tempted to put on airs.
