Commentary
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:2
Theological / DevotionalUnknown tongue. The word “unknown” is supplied. For a discussion of the varying views as to the nature of these tongues see Additional Note at end of chapter.
Not unto men. See Additional Note at end of chapter.
In the spirit. That is, under the influence of the Spirit, doubtless in a manner similar to that of a prophet when he is “in the Spirit” (see on Rev. 1:10).
Mysteries. For a definition of “mysteries” see on Rom. 11:25. The Spirit revealed divine truths to the one speaking in tongues. The revelation, however, benefited only the speaker. The sounds he uttered were not intelligible to those hearing him, nor, in fact, addressed to them.
