1 Corinthians 14:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: But if all prophecy - If all those who teach do it in the tongue which all understand; if an unbeliever, or one who knows nothing of the sacred language, come in and hear things just suited to his own state, he is convicted by all, and he is judged by all.
