Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 14:10

"There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification." — 1 Corinthians 14:10 (ASV)

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world.—There are a great many voices or languages in the world, and none of them is without a right meaning when spoken correctly and to the right person. No word in any language can be meaningless, but must correspond to some thought—for the thought exists first, and the word is invented as the expression of it.
