Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

 

 

Chrysostom on ‘tongues’ in I Corinthians 14:2-5

Comments Chrysostom: “As in the time of building the tower [of Babel], the one tongue was divided into many — so then” with this Corinthian language-speaking. “The many tongues frequently ‘met’ in one man [cf. I Cor. 14:18]….

“The same person used to discourse both in the Persian, and the Roman, and the Indian, and many other tongues…. The gift was called ‘the gift of tongues’ — because he could…speak divers languages.” Paul “is speaking of them who understand what they say — understand it themselves!”
