For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

People's New Testament

14:31 For ye all may prophesy. All who have the prophetic gift, but it must be

one by one, not more than one speaking at a time.

Wesley's Notes

14:31 All - Who have that gift. That all may learn - Both by speaking and by hearing.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

31. For ye may-rather, "For ye can [if ye will] all prophesy one by one," giving way to one another. The "for" justifies the precept (1Co 14:30), "let the first hold his peace."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

14:26-33 Religious exercises in public assemblies should have this view; Let all be done to edifying. As to the speaking in an unknown tongue, if another were present who could interpret, two miraculous gifts might be exercised at once, and thereby the church be edified, and the faith of the hearers confirmed at the same time. As to prophesying, two or three only should speak at one meeting, and this one after the other, not all at once. The man who is inspired by the Spirit of God will observe order and decency in delivering his revelations. God never teaches men to neglect their duties, or to act in any way unbecoming their age or station.


1 Corinthians 14:30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.
1 Corinthians 14:32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; (NASB ©1995)
