NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:28 But if there is no one to interpret, the one [who wishes to speak in a tongue] must keep silent in church; let him speak to himself and to God. |
Subject: Speak in tongue to himself and God? |
Bible Note: This verse does not justify a person speaking to God. 1) 14:2 Speak in uninterpreted tongue will make no man understand, so what meaning does the speaking has to the speaker? Thus, Paul address the meaningless in v7-11 and appeal to the speaker to seek the gift of interpretation. This is needed so that the church may be edified. Which is his arguement since 1 Cor 12. |
