Grace and gifts. "Follow after charity," etc. There are many separate verses in this chapter implying or suggesting thoughts capable of being wrought out into sermonic sketches, but my purpose now is to take a homiletical glance at the whole. The following general propositions will bring all the parts into a logical connection:— I. THE GRACE OF CHARITY IS SUPERIOR TO ALL ENDOWMENTS . I say "charity," for I prefer the word to the word "love," which the New Version... read more

Further enforcement of the argument. At this point in the discussion St. Paul refers to the distinction between the spirit and the understanding. Such a distinction must be recognized or his argument has no basis in the nature of the human mind, and, if there be no foundation in the laws of the mind for this difference between Spirit and understanding, the operations of the Holy Spirit in the two forms under notice are inconceivable. Man has a spirit—a power of introversion that withdraws... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:21

In the Law. The quotation is from Isaiah 28:11 , Isaiah 28:12 , but the term "the Law" was applied generally to the Old Testament, as in John 10:34 ; John 12:34 ; John 15:25 ; Romans 3:19 ). With men of other tongues, etc. The application of this Old Testament quotation furnishes one of the many singular instances of quotation which prove that the Jews often referred to the words without any direct reference to their context or original meaning. He here wishes to show that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:22

Wherefore. In accordance with this illustration. Not to them that believe. Because their belief depends on other and far deeper grounds. Serveth. This word is wrongly supplied; it should be, is for a sign. Not for them that believe not. Because there is nothing necessarily startling in preaching. It might, indeed, produce conviction in the unbelieving ( 1 Corinthians 14:25 ), but it was not a special "sign" "The unbelieving" are those who used to drop in at the Christian services... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:23

All speak with tongues. He does not necessarily mean that all are speaking at once; though, amid these strange scenes of self-asserting enthusiasm, even that was not wholly impossible; but he means, "if there be nothing, going on except glossolaly." Will they not say that ye are mad? This has often been the actual impression produced by these phenomena upon those who stand aloof from the spiritual influences which cause them. On the day of Pentecost the exaltation of the disciples caused... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:23-25

Conversion prepared for. I. CONVERSION EFFECTED BY MEANS . 1. The door of the sanctuary should be an open one ( 1 Corinthians 14:23 ). Restrictions and hindrances to attendance should be swept away. Non churchgoers are often such through the action of churchgoers. 2. Means should constantly be employed in the sanctuary. The gospel should be preached. The presence of "unbelievers" should constantly be borne in mind, and of those altogether "unlearned" in the truth. Casual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:23-32

How a spectator would regard the tongues; the gracious effects of prophesying; interpretation or silence. Suppose that the whole Church were to assemble in one place (argues the apostle), and all "speak with tongues;" the unchecked energy pouring itself forth in many and discordant volumes, each speaker borne away on the mighty tide of his own transport; no one considerate of another; the car scarcely cognizant of the sound issuing from the lips, the eye insensible to the impression made... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:21

In the law it is written - This passage is found in Isaiah 38:11-12. The word “law” here seems to mean the same as revelation; or is used to denote the Old Testament in general. A similar use occurs in John 10:34, and John 15:25.With men of other tongues ... - This passage, where it occurs in Isaiah, means, that God would teach the rebellious and refractory Jews submission to himself, by punishing them amidst a people of another language, by removing them to a land - the land of Chaldea - where... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:22

Wherefore - Thus, (Ὥστε Hōste), or wherefore. The apostle does not mean to say that what he was about to state was a direct conclusion from the passage of Scripture which he had quoted, but that it followed from all that he had said, and from the whole view of the subject. “The true statement or doctrine is, that tongues are for a sign,” etc.Tongues - The power of speaking foreign languages.Are for a sign - An “indication,” an evidence, or a proof that God has imparted this power, and that... read more
