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).
