1 Corinthians 14:27 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

By two or three at most — Let not above two or three speak at one meeting. And that by course — That is, one after another. And let one interpret — Either himself, 1 Corinthians 14:13; or, if he have not the gift, some other, into the vulgar tongue. It seems, the gift of tongues was an instantaneous knowledge of a tongue till then unknown, which he that received it could afterwards speak when he thought fit, without any new miracle.

1 Corinthians 14:27

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two,d or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
