#### Structure and formatting ####
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Some translations prefer to set apart quotations of the Old Testament. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 14:21, which is a quotation from the Old Testament.

Paul returns to his discussion on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Tongues #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The gift of tongues is described as an inferior gift because it primarily serves an individual or a few people within the church; it does not serve the church as a whole. It is also very important that this gift be used in the proper way. The use of tongues is also described as a sign for unbelievers. The exact meaning of this phrase is debated among scholars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Prophecy #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prophecy is described as a superior gift because it can be used in service of the entire church, unlike the gifts that are primarily helpful to an individual. Prophecy is described as a gift for believers, but the exact meaning of this phrase is debated among scholars. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]])
