Commentary

Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:24

Theological / Devotional

All prophecy. The effect of a manifestation of the gift of prophecy upon believers and ignorant persons is here contrasted with that of a confused display of tongues. The one who prophesies speaks in a language known to the congregation.

Convinced of all. Rather, “convicted of all.” The Holy Spirit convicts of sin (see on John 16:8), in this case through the messages of those prophesying.
