This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Speaketh unto men; that is, to the understanding of men, and for the good and profit of men.
To edification; for their increase in knowledge and all habits of grace.
And exhortation; to quicken them in the exercise and practice of such duties as God hath, in his word, required of, them.
And comfort; and for the relief of them under their burdens, to support and uphold their troubled or wounded spirits. These expressions make it probable, that the apostle, by prophecy in this text, understands ministerial preaching; which more properly tends to edification, exhortation, and comfort, than the foretelling of things to come.
