1 Cor 14:18-40

  • Paul speaks in tongues, too
    • and even more than all of you
    • but he rather speaks intelligible words in the church
    • tongues are for unbelievers (v22)
      • so Paul is referring 'tongues' to 'foreign languages' or 'dialects'?
      • only that would make sense?
      • a good article here
        • a key is verses 10 & 13: languages have meaning; and let it be interpreted;
        • v28: otherwise, just quietly speak directly to God;
  • think like an adult
    • be infants when in regard to evil
  • during worship
    • when you come together
      • strengthen the church
      • in a fitting and orderly way (v40)
  • in conclusion -> be eager to prophesy
    • do not forbid speaking in tongues
