Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:20-25

Application in view of unbelievers 14:20-25Uninterpreted tongues did not benefit visiting unbelievers any more than they edified the believers in church meetings. Prophecy, on the other hand, benefited both groups. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:21

The "Law" refers to the Old Testament here since the passage Paul cited is Isaiah 28:11-12 (cf. Deuteronomy 28:49; Isaiah 29:10-12; Isaiah 30:9-11; Isaiah 33:19). The context of this passage is the Israelites’ refusal to accept Isaiah’s warnings concerning the coming Assyrian invasion. God said because they refused to listen to the prophet’s words He would "teach" them by using their foreign-speaking invading enemy. Nevertheless even then, God said, they would not repent. Isaiah preached... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:22

The "then" in this verse anticipates what is to come rather than drawing a conclusion from what has preceded. Tongues-speaking in the church signified to visiting unbelievers that the Christians were mad (1 Corinthians 14:23). [Note: See Zane C. Hodges, "The Purpose of Tongues," Bibliotheca Sacra 120:479 (July-September 1963):226-33; J. Lanier Burns, "A Reemphasis on the Purpose of Tongues," Bibliotheca Sacra 132:527 (July-September 1975):242-49; and Harold W. Hoehner, "The Purpose of Tongues... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:23

Paul painted a picture of the Corinthian church assembled and engaged in a frenzy of unintelligible tongues-speaking. Two types of individuals walk in. One is a believer untaught in the matter of spiritual gifts and the other is an unbeliever. To both of them the worshippers appear to be insane rather than soberly engaged in worship and instruction. The church meeting would resemble the meetings of a mystery cult in which such mania was common."It was strange that what the Corinthians specially... read more

If, on the other hand, someone in the church was prophesying and the congregation was receiving instruction, both visitors would gain a positive impression from the conduct of the believers. More importantly, what the prophet said would also convict them (cf. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15). Paul’s description of the visitors’ response came from Isaiah 45:14 (cf. Zechariah 8:23) and contrasts with the unresponsiveness of the Israelites to messages God sent them in foreign languages. Prophecy would... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:26

The apostle did not want any one gift to dominate the meetings of this richly gifted church. Again his list of utterance gifts was limited and selective. Many Christians could make a variety of contributions to the general spiritual welfare of the congregation. He permitted the use of tongues but not their exclusive use and only if someone provided an interpretation (1 Corinthians 14:27)."That many in Corinth exercised their gifts in the interests of self-development and even of self-display... read more

The ordering of these gifts 14:26-33The apostle now began to regulate the use of tongues with interpretation, and he urged the use of discernment with prophecy."St Paul has here completed his treatment (xii.-xiv.) of pneumatika. He now gives detailed directions as to their use." [Note: Robertson and Plummer, p. 319.] 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 14:27-28

Paul laid down three guidelines for the use of tongues in public worship. First, the believers should permit only two or at the most three interpreted tongues messages. This is in harmony with the inferior contribution that tongues make compared with prophecy. Second, the speakers should give them consecutively rather than concurrently to minimize confusion. The Spirit does not overpower the speaker but is subject to the speaker, and the Spirit leads speakers to contribute in appropriate times... read more
