Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 14:39

39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesie, and forbid not to speak with tongues .

The Apostle concludeth his Discourse, summarily repeating all that he before had said. He had, v. 2. incouraged their desire of spiritual gifts; all along the Chapter he hath been magnifying the gift of Prophecy above the gift of Tongues, as being of much more general use, and more for the profit of others; but he minds them here, that he did not forbid those for whom God had given the gift of Tongues, to make use of it at due times, and in a due manner and order.
