This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Concerning the use of their gift of tongues, he directeth three things:



1. That every one that had it should not be ambitious to show it at all times, but



two or three at most at a time.



2. That they should do it



by course, not together, confusedly.



3. Not without



one to interpret, that people might understand. For though these were extraordinary gifts, flowing from a more than ordinary influence of the Spirit of God, yet they were abiding habits, not coming upon them at some certain times, by an impulse; for then they would not have been under human government, as it is apparent this gift of tongues was, else Paul could not have so governed himself in the use of it, as he lets us know he did, 1Co_14:19.
