You may be giving thanks well enough The phrase "giving thanks" in Greek is "εὐχαριστεῖς" (eucharisteis), which is the root of the word "Eucharist," a term often used for the Lord's Supper. This highlights the act of gratitude as central to Christian worship and life. In the context of 1 Corinthians 14, Paul is addressing the use of spiritual gifts, particularly speaking in tongues. The act of giving thanks is commendable and aligns with the Christian duty to express gratitude to God. However, Paul emphasizes that this act, while spiritually beneficial to the individual, must also consider the edification of the church body. Historically, the early church faced challenges in balancing personal spiritual experiences with communal worship, a theme that resonates with the need for unity and mutual edification in the body of Christ. but the other one is not edified Parallel Commentaries ...
