1 Thessalonians 5:20 (KJV):

“Despise not prophesyings.”

This instruction from Paul is part of a larger passage encouraging the Thessalonian church in their spiritual practices. Paul urges them to respect and value prophecy, which is understood as messages or insights inspired by the Holy Spirit. These prophecies were important for guidance, encouragement, and strengthening the faith community. By saying “despise not,” Paul is reminding them to remain open to what God might communicate through His people, rather than dismissing or undervaluing these messages.

The surrounding verses provide context to help them discern prophecies, advising them to “prove all things” and “hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). This means they are encouraged to test the authenticity and alignment of prophecies with God’s truth, embracing what is true and beneficial.
