Cyril of Alexandria


On 1 Cor 14:1-5
"Here Paul frees the Corinthians from the notion that speaking in tongues is a greater credit to them than interpreting the words of the prophets." (CB, 230)
Obviously, some in Corinth believed that tongues were a tremendous gift above many, if not all, other gifts. St. Paul sought to correct that view by showing that tongues are not as useful as learning the teachings of the prophets. Some in our own time need to hear this.
