This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Co 14:20. Ἀδελφοὶ, brethren) The vocative put at the beginning has an agreeable force.-τῇ κακίᾳ· ταῖς φρεσὶ) Ammonius makes this seasonable observation: “νοῦς is covert reasoning, ἀπόκρυφος λογισμὸς; but φρένες implies GOOD thoughts,” αἱ ΑΓΑΘΑΙ διάνοιαι. Nor does κακία denote malice [badness], but vice, or whatever is opposed to virtue.-νηπιάζετε, be ye children) νηπιάζω, similar to the forms ἀκμάζω, πυῤῥάζω.-τέλειοι, perfect) and therefore determining the true value of every thing according to its use.
