Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, 1 Corinthians 14:10

John Gill, on 1Cor 14:10

John Gill · 1697–1771
1Cor 14:10 · Douay-Rheims
“There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.”
On this verse:
“There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices,.... "tongues", or "languages", as the Syriac version renders it; that is, as many as there are nations in the world; there may be seventy of them, as the Jews say there were at the confusion of languages at Babel; there may be more or less: and none of them is without signification: every language, and every word in a language, has a meaning in it, an idea annexed to it, which it conveys to him that understands it, and that cannot be done without a voice ordinarily speaking.”
