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
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
A person is built up when he finds out the answer to disputed points. Encouragement comes to him when he is enabled to endure. He is consoled when he continues in hope even when others are viewing his discipline with contempt. Knowledge of the law strengthens his soul and encourages him to hope for better things. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
