• No one could speak for the edification of the assembly unless he communicated the mind of God. (“1 Corinthians 14” by J.N. Darby)
• Of such communication the Apostle distinguishes two kinds- revelation and knowledge. The latter supposes a revelation already given, of which someone availed himself by the Holy Spirit for the good of the flock. He then points out the gifts which were respectively the means of edifying in these two ways. (“1 Corinthians 14” by J.N. Darby)
• “Knowledge,” or “doctrine,” teaches truths, or explains the Word, a thing very useful to the assembly; but in it there is not the direct action of the Spirit in application, and thus not the direct manifestation of the presence of God to men in their own conscience and heart. (“1 Corinthians 14” by J.N. Darby)
• For the idea is not that he who spoke in the tongue did not understand what he said, yet it is never supposed that he would communicate, unless he had the interpretation of tongues. But his own knowledge of what was spoken is not the same as this interpretation, and unless he could interpret, there is no thought of his communicating to the assembly what was said in a tongue. For the assembly is the sphere, not for man's ability, but for the Spirit of God. Interpretation must therefore be a gift, not a human power, to be available there. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 14:1-12” by W. Kelly)
