But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 14:3 Go To 1 Corinthians 14
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to . . . comfort. This is what I said before, that to prophesy means here to speak words which edify, exhort, and comfort others. Hence, to prophesy is better than to speak in unknown tongues, which no one understands, and from which no one can receive instruction, edification, or comfort.
