Unknown Tongue [1]

( 1 Corinthians 14:2;  1 Corinthians 14:4;  1 Corinthians 14:13-14;  1 Corinthians 14:19;  1 Corinthians 14:27) is a gloss of the A.V.; for the Greek has simply Γλῶσσα , a Tongue, obviously meaning a different living language from that ordinarily employed by the speaker ( Γλῶσσα Ἑτέρα ,  Mark 16:17;  Acts 2:4). Others understand an ecstatic utterance of abrupt, incoherent, and unintelligible expressions which needed an interpreter. See the monographs cited by Volbeding, Index Programmatum, p. 73. (See Spiritual Gifts).
