1 Corinthians 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

σημεῖα δὲ τοῖς πιστεύσασιν ταῦτα παρακολουθήσει· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δαιμόνια ἐκβαλοῦσιν γλώσσαις λαλήσουσιν καιναῖς
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
ἤκουον γὰρ αὐτῶν λαλούντων γλώσσαις καὶ μεγαλυνόντων τὸν θεόν τότε ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Πέτρος
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
καὶ ἐπιθέντος αὐτοῖς τοῦ Παύλου τὰς χεῖρας ἦλθεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπ' αὐτούς ἐλάλουν τε γλώσσαις καὶ προεφήτευον
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ ἤρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις καθὼς τὸ πνεῦμα ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἀποφθέγγεσθαι
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάνειν ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω οὐθέν εἰμι
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
ἡμῖν δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀπεκάλυψεν διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ· τὸ γὰρ πνεῦμα πάντα ἐρευνᾷ καὶ τὰ βάθη τοῦ θεοῦ
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
ὅτι κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐγνώρισεν μοι τὸ μυστήριον καθὼς προέγραψα ἐν ὀλίγῳ
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
τὸ μυστήριον τὸ ἀποκεκρυμμένον ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γενεῶν νυνὶ δὲ ἐφανερώθη τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς διὰ τῆς γλώσσης ἐὰν μὴ εὔσημον λόγον δῶτε πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον ἔσεσθε γὰρ εἰς ἀέρα λαλοῦντες
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy understood, to be how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
ἀλλὰ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ ἑβδόμου ἀγγέλου ὅταν μέλλῃ σαλπίζειν καὶ τελεσθῇ τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς εὐηγγέλισεν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ δούλοις τοῖς προφήταις
But in the days of the of voice the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
ἵνα παρακληθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν συμβιβασθέντων ἐν ἀγάπῃ καὶ εἰς πάντα πλοῦτον τῆς πληροφορίας τῆς συνέσεως εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
ἀλλὰ λαλοῦμεν σοφίαν θεοῦ ἐν μυστηρίῳ τὴν ἀποκεκρυμμένην ἣν προώρισεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων εἰς δόξαν ἡμῶν·
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ ἵνα μοι δοθείη λόγος ἐν ἀνοίξει τοῦ στόματός μου ἐν παῤῥησίᾳ γνωρίσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ εὐαγγελίου
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶν τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· Θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὸ μυστήριον τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ μου πάντων ὑμῶν μᾶλλον γλώσσαις λαλῶν·
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
יִשָּׂא יְהוָה עָלֶיךָ גּוֹי מֵֽרָחֹק מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִדְאֶה הַנָּשֶׁר גּוֹי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-תִשְׁמַע לְשֹׁנֽוֹ׃
The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
ἰδού μυστήριον ὑμῖν λέγω· πάντες μὲν οὐ κοιμηθησόμεθα πάντες δὲ ἀλλαγησόμεθα
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
וְהֵם לֹא יָֽדְעוּ כִּי שֹׁמֵעַ יוֹסֵף כִּי הַמֵּלִיץ בֵּֽינֹתָֽם׃
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
