1 Corinthians 14:32 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

And - following up 1 Corinthians 14:31, 'ye can' (if ye will) restrain yourselves from speaking all together. "And the spirits of the prophets" - i:e., their spirits-acted on by the Holy Spirit, are not so hurried away as to cease to be under their own control: they can, if they will, hear others, and not demand that they alone should be heard.
