24 Mas si todos profetizan, y entra algún incrédulo o indocto, de todos es convencido, de todos es juzgado;

1 Corintios 14:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 14:24

But if all prophecy
That is, all that speak publicly in the church, not together, but in their order, one after another, as is hereafter directed:

and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned;
an unbeliever that has only the knowledge of his mother tongue, in which prophesying or preaching is used:

he is convinced of all, he is judged of all;
of all the prophets or preachers; they all reprove him, and detect his secret, as the Arabic version renders the words; and to the same purport the Ethiopic. This must be understood of such persons whom the Spirit of God, under, and by the ministry of the word, powerfully works upon; whose hearts he opens to receive the word, and to whom he effectually applies it; whom he convinces of sin, righteousness, and judgment, shows the evil of their hearts and ways, reproves their errors, convicts them of their mistakes, and informs their judgments, and condemns all their principles and practices which are not agreeably to the word of God.

1 Corintios 14:24 In-Context

22 Así que, las lenguas son por señal, no a los fieles, sino a los incrédulos; mas la profecía, no se da a los incrédulos, sino a los fieles.

23 De manera que, si toda la Iglesia se juntare en uno, y todos hablan lenguas, y entran indoctos o incrédulos, ¿no dirán que estáis locos?

24 Mas si todos profetizan, y entra algún incrédulo o indocto, de todos es convencido, de todos es juzgado;

25 porque lo oculto de su corazón se hace manifiesto; y así, postrándose sobre el rostro, adorará a Dios, declarando que verdaderamente Dios está en vosotros.

26 ¿Qué hay pues, hermanos? Cuando os juntáis, cada uno de vosotros tiene salmo, tiene doctrina, tiene lengua, tiene revelación, tiene interpretación; hágase todo para edificación.
