Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 14:1 Go To 1 Corinthians 14
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
But rather that you may prophesy. That is, declare or expound the mysteries of faith. (Challoner)
To prophesy, in its proper signification, is to foretell things to come: it sometimes is to expound the obscure places in other prophets; and sometimes it is to preach the word of God. Here it is chiefly taken in this last sense. (Witham)
