1 Corinthians 14:22 - Exposition

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 out of curiosity.
