Origen


General Comments on 1 Cor 14:6-12
"Those who speak in a tongue and do not interpret ought not to speak since their words are undifferentiated and unintelligible." (CB, 231)
Here we glimpse some sort of criterion for when one should speak in tongues and when one should be silent. Origen states that only when an interpretation will accompany the speech should one speak in tongues. I imagine this would avoid confusion and scandal.
