Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

 

 

Paraphrase on ‘tongues’ in I Corinthians 14:10-12

Declared Paul: ‘There are, it may be, very many kinds of sounds in the world. But not one of them is without significance. Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the sound — I would be a barbarian to him who keeps on speaking [in his own foreign language].

‘And he who keeps on speaking [in a tongue foreign to me] –would be a barbarian to me. So too you. Inasamuch are you do keep on being zealous about spiritual gifts — seek to excel, to the edification of the church!’
