1 Corinthians14:31

31 For ye may all prophesie one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted .

Ye may not all prophesie in the same day, or hour, or moment of time, but orderly and successively, ye may all prophesie, the end of it being for the instruction and consolation of all, which may mind you so to govern your selves in the exercise of that gift, as not to lose your end, but all may learn, and may be comforted. Which lets us know, that though their receiving the gift of Prophecy obliged them to an exercise of it, yet it did not oblige them to an exercise of it, in or at this or that particular time.
