1 CORINTHIANS 14:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God — the tongue-speaker communes with the divine through Spirit-enabled utterance, bypassing rational speech. This is valid spiritually (no one understands unless the Spirit interprets), yet it cannot accomplish corporate edification. The distinction marks tongues as legitimate but limited in ecclesial function.
