1 Corinthians 14:29
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
14:29. The directions for those exercising the gift of prophecy did not differ from those for tongues. Two or three prophets could speak at each service and what they said was to be carefully considered. Since they would speak in Greek the others in the congregation would understand and evaluate their messages. (Or perhaps “the others” referred to those with the gift to distinguish between spirits.) The words weigh carefully translate the verb diakrinetosan, related to the noun diakriseis in 12:10, which speaks of distinguishing “between spirits.” It was their responsibility to ascertain if the message delivered was indeed from God (cf. 1 John 4:1).
