哥林多前书 14:38 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:38

Abandonment to ignorance. Paul was a man who humbled himself but magnified his office. For himself, he was less than the least of all saints; but officially and in apostolic influence and authority, he was not behind the chiefest of the apostles. Of course there were in the primitive Churches men who acknowledged neither his authority nor the authority of any other than themselves. And when the apostle gave utterance to his judgment, it was with the knowledge that his judgment would not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:38

But if any be ignorant ... - If anyone affects to be ignorant of my authority, or whether I have a right to command. If he affects to doubt whether I am inspired, and whether what I utter is in accordance with the will of God.Let him be ignorant - At his own peril, let him remain so, and abide the consequences. I shall not take any further trouble to debate with him. I have stated my authority. I have delivered the commands of God. And now, if he disregards them, and still doubts whether all... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 14:36-38

1 Corinthians 14:36-38. What! came the word of God out from you? Are ye of Corinth, the first church in the world, by whose example all others should be modelled? Or came it unto you only? Are you the only Christian society that has received the true gospel? If not, conform herein to the custom of all the churches. These questions the apostle asks, to cut off every pretence for women’s teaching in the church. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual Endowed with any... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:26-40

Order and upbuilding (14:26-40)At the meetings of the Corinthian church, the Christians came prepared to take part in the service in a variety of ways. The guiding rule was that everything was to be spiritually helpful (26). But confusion arose because several spoke in different tongues at the same time, often with no interpreter. Paul says that if no interpreter is present, they must keep quiet. Even if an interpreter is present, they must speak in turn, and then no more than two or three... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:38

1 Corinthians 14:38. If any man be ignorant,— By the any man, mentioned in this and the foregoing verse, St. Paul seems particularly to intimate the false apostle, who pretended to give laws among them, and may well be supposed to be the author of these disorders; whom therefore St. Paul censures, and presses in these three verses. The word 'Αγνοειτω, which we render, "Let him be ignorant," Dr. Whitby would render, "Let him not be acknowledged to be a true prophet." See his note. read more

38. if any man be ignorant—wilfully; not wishing to recognize these ordinances and my apostolic authority in enjoining them. let him be ignorant—I leave him to his ignorance: it will be at his own peril; I feel it a waste of words to speak anything further to convince him. An argument likely to have weight with the Corinthians, who admired "knowledge" so much. read more

5. The need for order 14:26-40The Corinthians’ public worship practices not only failed to be edifying and convicting, but they also involved disorderly conduct. Paul proceeded to deal with this additional need to help his readers value these qualities over the pseudo spirituality that they associated with glossolalia. read more

Concluding confrontation 14:36-40Paul concluded his answer to the Corinthians’ question concerning spiritual gifts (chs. 12-14) and his teaching on tongues (ch. 14) with a strong call to cooperation. He zeroed in on their individualism (1 Corinthians 14:36; cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33) and confronted them on the issue of who indeed was spiritual (1 Corinthians 14:37). As a prophet of old he warned anyone who disagreed with his instructions (1 Corinthians 14:38) and finally summarized his argument... read more
