“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
2. 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. 3. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4. He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians 14:2-4 — KJV
Unknown 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.
