1 Corinthians 14:33 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Here he showeth the principle upon which he said, that the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets: what any prophets speak is not so certain, or at least not more certain, than this, that nothing which is confusion can be from God. Now, for two or three to speak together in a public assembly, is a confusion, and a breach of order, of which God cannot be the author: therefore, in such a thing as that, the spirits of the prophets must be subject to other prophets; and there is a general rule which concerneth not only the church of Corinth, but all churches.

1 Corinthians 14:33

33 For God is not the author of confusion,e but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
