With love in the speaker, his γλωσσολαλία would be kept within the bounds of edification (1 Corinthians 14:6; 1 Corinthians 14:12-19; 1 Corinthians 14:27), and would possess a tone and pathos far different from that described.—“Tongues of men ” does not signify foreign languages (so Or[1964], Hf[1965], Al[1966], Thiersch), such as are supposed to have been spoken on the Day of ...
3. 1 Corinthians 13:1 Tongues of men or angels meaning? Eloquence was something greatly admired in the first century and the people of Corinth were no exception.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. In 1Co 12:8-10 Paul has spoken of spiritual gifts, one of which was to speak in tongues. A more excellent way (1Co 12:31) is now to be shown. Hence, various spiritual gifts are taken up and shown to be useless and vain without love. And have not charity. Love, in the Revised Version.
