[1] {prophecy}
The N.T. prophet is not ordinarily a foreteller, but rather a
forth-teller, one whose gift enabled him to speak "to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort"
# 1Co 14:3

[2] {more excellent}
Chapter 13. continues the pneumatika begun in Chapter 12. Gifts are
good, but only if ministered in love (13.1,2). Benevolence is good, but
not apart from love (13.3). Love is described (13.4-7). Love is better
than our present incomplete knowledge (13.8-12), and greater than even
faith and hope (v. 13).

[1] {rather}
The subject is still the pneumatika. Chapter 12, described the gifts
and the Body; Chapter 13. the love which alone gives ministry of gift
any value; Chapter 14. regulates the ministry of gift in the
primitive, apostolic assembly of saints. (1) The important gift is
that of prophecy (v. 1). The N.T. prophet was not merely a preacher,
but an inspired preacher, through whom, until the N.T. was written,
new revelations suited to the new dispensation were given
# 1Co 14:29,30
(2) Tongues and the sign gifts are to cease, and meantime
must be used with restraint, and only if an interpreter be present
# 1Co 14:1-19,27,28
(3) In the primitive church there was liberty for the ministry of all
the gifts which might be present, but for prophecy more especially
# 1Co 14:23-26,31,39
(4) In such meetings, when "the whole church" came together "in one
place," women were required to keep silence
# 1Co 14:34,35 11:3-16 1Ti 2:11-14
(5) These injunctions are declared to be "the commandments of the Lord"
# 1Co 14:36,37
