A.T. Robertson Commentary 1 Corinthians 14:3

"But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation." — 1 Corinthians 14:3 (ASV)

Edification (οικοδομην). Building up.

Comfort (παρακλησιν). Encouragement, calling to one's side.

Consolation (παραμυθιαν). Old word (from παρα, μυθοσ, παραμυθεομα 1 Thessalonians 2:12 which see, a stimulating word), nowhere else in N.T., but παραμυθιον in Php 2:1 with παρακλησις as here. Edification, cheer, incentive in these words.
