YouVersion Notes

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace.

The Church should be:

Speaking in tongues ✓
Interpreting in certain situations ✓
Prophesying ✓
Desiring spiritual gifts ✓
Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓
All things done decently and in order ✓

We must trust God to let Him say what is “decent” and “in order” and not our tradition.

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order. I Corinthians 14:37-40 NKJV
