1 Corinthians 14:2 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Ver. 2. In an unknown tongue] So they that preach in a kind of a Roman English, and not in a low language to the people's capacity.

But unto God] Canit sibi et Musis, as the proverb is; and as good he may hold his tongue, for God needs him not.
