Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

1 Corinthians 14:24

ἄπιστος ἢ ἰδιώτης. The distinction here is between active unbelief in Christianity and the absence of any information on the subject.

ἐλέγχεται ὑπὸ πάντων. He is convicted in his own conscience by all of the speakers. The word ἐλέγχω signifies (1) to prove by argument, and comes therefore to be used (2) of the conviction produced by argument. Cf. John 16:8, where the word however is rendered reprove.

ἀνακρίνεται ὑπὸ πάντων. He is examined by all. The exhortations of the preachers place him, as it were, upon his trial. For the word here used see ch. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15; 1 Corinthians 4:3-4; 1 Corinthians 9:3; 1 Corinthians 10:25; 1 Corinthians 10:27, and notes.
