If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn; and let one interpret.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 14:27 Go To 1 Corinthians 14
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
If any man speak in an unknown tongue. . . . let one interpret. This verse depends on the foregoing clause, "Let all things be done to edifying." If any one sing, or teach, or speak with a tongue, let all be done to edifying, so that, e.g, if tongues are used, then let only two, or at the most three, in each assembly speak, and that in their turns, so that there may be no confusion; and let one interpret, so that the hearers may understand what is said.
