1 Corinthians 14:16
_ _ Else ... thou — He changes from the first person, as he had just expressed his own resolution, “I will pray with the understanding,” whatever “thou” doest.
_ _ bless — the highest kind of prayer.
_ _ occupieth the room of the unlearned — one who, whatever other gifts he may possess, yet, as wanting the gift of interpretation, is reduced by the speaking in an unknown tongue to the position of one unlearned, or “a private person.”
_ _ say Amen — Prayer is not a vicarious duty done by others for us; as in Rome’s liturgies and masses. We must join with the leader of the prayers and praises of the congregation, and say aloud our responsive “Amen” in assent, as was the usage of the Jewish (Deuteronomy 27:15-26; Nehemiah 8:6) and Christian primitive churches [Justin Martyr, Apology, 2. 97]. |
1 Corinthians 14:16
Otherwise how shall he that filleth the place of a private person — That is, any private hearer. Say Amen — Assenting and confirming your words, as it was even then usual for the whole congregation to do. |
1 Corinthians 14:16
(7) Else when thou shalt bless with the (n) spirit, how shall he that (o) occupieth the room of the unlearned say (p) Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
(7) Another reason: seeing that the whole congregation must agree with him that speaks, and also witness this agreement, how will they give their assent or agreement who know not what is spoken?
(n) Alone, without any consideration of the hearers.
(o) He that sits as a private man.
(p) So then one uttered the prayers, and all the company answered "amen". |
- bless:

- unlearned:
1 Corinthians 14:23-24 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? ...

And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
