哥林多前书 14:19 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:15-25

15-25 There can be no assent to prayers that are not understood. A truly Christian minister will seek much more to do spiritual good to men's souls, than to get the greatest applause to himself. This is proving himself the servant of Christ. Children are apt to be struck with novelty; but do not act like them. Christians should be like children, void of guile and malice; yet they should not be unskilful as to the word of righteousness, but only as to the arts of mischief. It is a proof that a... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:1-99

1Co 14 CHAPTER 13 BEING a parenthesis, showing the surpassing excellence of divine love, the first verse of 1Co 14.0 is connected with the last verse of 1Co 12.0 . Love is to be pursued as the thing of all importance, for where it is, spiritual gifts may safely be desired. Where love reigns, they will be desired not for personal advancement or distinction, but for the profit and blessing of all. Hence the gift of prophecy is given the first place. It is amongst the best gifts which may be... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 14:14-20

Only through the understanding of the hearer does the utterance of the Spirit result in edification: v. 14. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. v. 15. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. v. 16. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy... read more

3. A comparison of the gifts of prophecy arid of speaking with tongues, in respect to their worth for the edification of the Church. Rules for the right regulation of their use according to their end, and according to the benefit they render to the Church1 Corinthians 14:01 Follow after charity [love, τὴν ], and [but, δὲ] desire [the, τὰ] spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2For he that speaketh in an unknown, tongue [a tongue] speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man... read more

Understanding Promotes Edifying 1 Corinthians 14:13-25 The Apostle here gives two practical directions, in order to restore the rule of the understanding above the babble of incoherent sounds, which was confusing the Corinthian church. The first was that worship should be conducted in a form that the assembled congregation could understand. To utter prayer or thanksgiving to which the audience could give no assent; to utter sounds which were meaningless, was inconsistent with the true... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40

The apostle now submitted certain gifts to the test of love. Prophesying is desirable because it edifies others. Then as to Tongues. It was a gift that enabled men to speak to God, perhaps in prayer, perhaps in praise, most probably in both ways; its effect on the man who had the gift was to strengthen his spiritual life. Its effect on others was valueless unless it was accompanied by interpretation. The apostle declared that if he came to hem speaking with tongues it would not profit them. If... read more

Talking in Tongues 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The need for spiritual guidance in the matter of tongues. The church of today is beset by a group of people who very dogmatically assert that Speaking in Tongues is the sole sign of being filled with the Spirit. The godliest of saints, whose very presence is charged with a sense of God, and whose knowledge of the Bible is beyond question, are therefore set aside by this group as not Spirit-filled, because, forsooth, they do not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:1-33

Spiritual Gifts For The Well-being of Christ and His Body (12:1-14:33). Paul now begins his reply to their question about spiritual gifts ('concerning spiritual things') and immediately gives an initial warning that such gifts can easily be perverted by the subtlety of evil spiritual forces. It is in the nature of spiritual gifts that they will be imitated and distorted by such evil forces with ill intent, for they are ever out to deceive, and will seek to mimic spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40

Approach to Worship (11:2-14:40). We now move on to a section which deals with the Christian approach to worship in the light of the particular problems of the Corinthian church. Chapter 11 covers the question of the covering or uncovering of the head in praying and prophesying, and its significance, followed by problems arising at the Christian love feasts and the Lord's Table, including the divisions caused by those problems. Note that it is all about problems arising from un-Christian... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:18-19

'I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all. Howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.' He sums up the point from his own example. It is not that he is against tongues, in fact he uses them frequently. Indeed he can thank God that he is sure that he speaks with tongues more than all of them. (So let them not think that they are so very special). But in the church he would prefer to... read more
