Exegesis
Within the quotation, two parallel prepositional phrases, en heteroglossois {ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις | en heteroglṓssois} “in other tongues” and en cheilesin heteron {ἐν χείλεσιν ἑτέρων | en kheílesin hetérōn}, form a balanced construction, with the datives marking instrument or agency, emphasizing that God’s speech will come through foreign media.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:21
In the Law it is written: “In other tongues and in the lips of others I will speak to this people, and not even so will they listen to Me,” says the Lord .
