Bible Commentary for 1 Thessalonians 5:20

Wesley's Notes for 1 Thessalonians 5:20


5:20 Despise not prophesyings - That is, preaching; for the apostle is not here speaking of extraordinary gifts. It seems, one means of grace is put for all; and whoever despises any of these, under whatever pretence, will surely (though perhaps gradually and almost insensibly) quench the Spirit.



People's Bible Notes for 1 Thessalonians 5:20


1Th 5:20 Despise not prophesyings. Inspired teachings. The prophets were specially inspired men in the early church. They were needed, because as yet it did not have the New Testament Scriptures for a guide. This inspired preaching must not be despised.
