1 Corintios 14:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 14:32

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
prophets.
] Meaning either that the doctrines which the prophets deliver, the explanations they give of passages of Scriptures, the revelations they declare, are subject to the examination, judgment, and censure of other prophets; who have a right to try and judge them, either according to a more clear revelation they may have, or rather according to the sure word of prophecy, the Scriptures of truth; and indeed they are subject to the trial and judgment of the whole church, and therefore ought not to be stiff in their own sentiments, and obstinately persist in them, but cheerfully and readily submit them to be examined, and approved or disapproved by others; and particularly when one that sits by signifies he has something revealed to him, which will better explain, or give further light into what the speaker is upon, he ought to submit and give way to him; and thereby truth may be made manifest and established, instruction, edification, and comfort promoted, and peace and order preserved: or else the sense is, that the spiritual gifts of the prophets, and the inspirations and instincts by which they are acted, and the affections which are excited in them, are subject to themselves, so that they can use, or not use those gifts; though they have the word of the Lord they can forbear speaking, as Jeremy did, for a while, and as the case of Jonah shows; or they can refrain themselves and be silent, and wait till they have proper opportunity of speaking, being not like the prophets of false gods, who are acted by an evil spirit, and observe no order or decorum, but with a sort of fury and madness deliver involuntarily what is suggested to them: but such is not the case of true prophets that are influenced and directed by the Spirit of God, who will give way to one another; one will be silent while the other speaks, and by turns prophesy one after another; and where there is not such a subjection, it is a sign that the Spirit of God is not in them, for the reason that follows.

1 Corintios 14:32 In-Context

30 Pero, si alguien está profetizando y otra persona recibe una revelación del Señor, el que está hablando debe callarse.

31 De esa manera, todos los que profeticen tendrán su turno para hablar, uno después de otro, para que todos aprendan y sean alentados.

32 Recuerden que la gente que profetiza está en control de su espíritu y puede turnarse con otros.

33 Pues Dios no es Dios de desorden sino de paz, como en todas las reuniones del pueblo santo de Dios.

34 Las mujeres deben guardar silencio durante las reuniones de la iglesia. No es apropiado que hablen. Deben ser sumisas, tal como dice la ley.
