Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 14:1. Follow after.—Taking up the thought of a “way,” 1 Corinthians 12:31; as this whole verse resumes the theme of 12, after the digression or episode of 13 “Pursue” love; righteousness (Romans 9:30, etc.; 1 Timothy 6:11; 2 Timothy 2:22; cf. Philippians 3:14); peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 3:11; Romans 14:19); good (1 Thessalonians 5:15); hospitality (Romans 12:13). “We pursue love by watching against and resisting everything contrary to it, by prayer... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 Corinthians 14:1

rather The subject is still the pneumatika. Chapter 12, described the gifts and the Body; Chapter 13. the love which alone gives ministry of gift any value; Chapter 14. regulates the ministry of gift in the primitive, apostolic assembly of saints. (1) The important gift is that of prophecy (1 Corinthians 1:1)). The N.T. prophet was not merely a preacher, but an inspired preacher, through whom, until the N.T. was written, new revelations suited to the new dispensation were given 1 Corinthians... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40

So Paul exhorts,Follow after love and desire spiritual ( 1 Corinthians 14:1 ),But rather, that you may prophecy. We were told to covet earnestly the best gifts. Now, again, he is saying the same thing,desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God: for no man understands him; howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries [or divine secrets] ( 1 Corinthians 14:1-2 ).So, an interesting verse here. If you are... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40

What is the subject of this chapter? Does it refer to the constant manner in which worship was conducted in the primitive churches; or does it refer to the manner in which men possessed of secondary gifts, edified the church during the absence of their superior ministers? Dr. Hammond in one place inclines to this opinion. Has it not also a regard to the way in which the body edified itself in love, during their agapæ or love-feasts, when they might all prophesy one by one. 1 Corinthians 14:1 .... read more

1 Corinthians 14:1-24Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts.Following after loveYou could see Gerald had been running fast a long way, for as he came up the garden path to his mother his face was very red and his hair quite damp with the perspiration on his forehead. “What have you been doing, my little boy?” his mother asked him. “Oh, mother,” he said, almost ready to cry, “I have been running after the rainbow, trying to catch it, but when I got to the top of the hill it was just as... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:1

1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy. Ver. 1. Follow after charity ] Διωκετε , follow it hot-foot, as they say; pursue and practise it. It is more than to desire or to be zealous of a thing, as it follows in the next words, Ζηλουτε , "Be zealous of spiritual gifts." Follow charity close, as the hunter doth his prey, or as the persecutor doth the martyr, that will hide or escape if he can. Charity may be fitly compared to the precious stone... read more

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. Ver. 2. In an unknown tongue ] So they that preach in a kind of a Roman English, and not in a low language to the people’s capacity. But unto God ] Canit sibi et Musis, as the proverb is; and as good he may hold his tongue, for God needs him not. read more

3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. Ver. 3. To edification, to exhortation ] These three ends every preacher ought to propound to himself: 1. Edification in knowledge and holiness. 2. Exhortation, that is, reprehension and admonition. 3. Consolation, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way,Hebrews 12:13; Hebrews 12:13 . read more
