Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 14:10

_ _ it may be — that is, perhaps, speaking by conjecture. “It may chance” (1 Corinthians 15:37).

_ _ so many — as may be enumerated by investigators of such matters. Compare “so much,” used generally for a definite number left undefined (Acts 5:8; also 2 Samuel 12:8).

_ _ kinds of voices — kinds of articulate speech.

_ _ without significationwithout articulate voice (that is, distinct meaning). None is without its own voice, or mode of speech, distinct from the rest.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:6-14.
