NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers. |
Subject: Tongues, madness or sign for unbeliever |
Bible Note: In re-reading my post, I think I understand your question, Doc. I am sure we all know what Paul says concerning tongues, and the interpretation thereof. I would think that in the case of Acts chapter 2, the Holy Spirit itself was the supernatural interpretor, at least for those who sincerely desired the truth. As to those who did not fit into this category, I believe that they were undoubtedly the mockers. |
