First Corinthians Chapter Fourteen [summary] Contents: Prophecy and speaking in tongues. The order of the ministry of this gift in the church. Characters: God, Holy Spirit, Paul. Conclusion: That is the best and most eligible gift which best answers the purposes of charity and edifies the church. That which cannot be understood cannot edify, and such confusion is to be avoided in the church. No gift of the Spirit is to be despised, and if the gift of tongues is bestowed, it will be with interpretation among two or three brethren, and will result in their blessing. Key Word: Gift of tongues, v. 2. Strong Verses: 2, 8, 9, 12, 19, 33. Striking Facts: All believers have the Holy Spirit—1 Cor. 6:19–20, not all were to have tongues—12:28–30. All public display of the gift, if it is given by the Spirit, is for edification, 14:5–28, always accompanied by interpretation, 14:13, 23–26, 28, always under control, 14:27. If accompanied by confusion, it is not of the Spirit, 14:33–40. From Summarized Bible: Complete Summary of the New Testament
