Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 14:21

21. In the law —as the whole Old Testament is called, being all of it the law of God. Compare the citation of the Psalms as the "law," :- . Here the quotation is from Isaiah 28:11 ; Isaiah 28:12 , where God virtually says of Israel, This people hear Me not, though I speak to. them in the language with which they are familiar; I will therefore speak to them in other tongues, namely, those of the foes whom I will send against them; but even then they will not hearken to Me; which Paul thus applies, Ye see that it is a penalty to be associated with men of a strange tongue, yet ye impose this on the Church [GROTIUS]; they who speak in foreign tongues are like "children" just "weaned from the milk" ( Isaiah 28:12- : ), "with stammering lips" speaking unintelligibly to the hearers, appearing ridiculous ( Isaiah 28:12- : ), or as babbling drunkards ( Isaiah 28:12- : ), or madmen ( 1 Corinthians 14:23 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
