1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 12:3 Because of their pre-Christian experience of pagan worship services (v. 1 Corinthians 12:2), some Corinthians may have had concerns about speaking in tongues (see discussion of tongues in note on v. 1 Corinthians 12:10). Paul first assures them that they should not worry that Christians who speak in tongues might be saying things against God. He also states that all who genuinely profess faith in Christ have the Holy Spirit within them. All have valuable gifts for the benefit of the church.
