Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 28. - Let him keep silence. The "him" refers to the glossolalist, not to the interpreter. To himself. In his private devotions (as St. Paul himself seems to have done); not in the public assembly.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) But if there be no interpreter.--But if there be no one with the gift of interpreting, then the speaker with tongues was not to exercise his gift publicly at all; he may only exercise his gift in private with himself and God.
