Exegesis
The verse opens with an inferential rhetorical question, ti oun estin; {τί οὖν ἐστιν; | tí oûn É-stin} ‘What then is it?’, which functions as a discourse marker summing up the preceding argument about intelligibility in corporate worship.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:15
What then is the conclusion? I will pray with the spirit , and I will also pray with the mind ; I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the mind.
