‏ 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

v. 20: Paul says, Despise not prophesyings (1 Thessalonians 5:20 ^a). This means we should value the preaching and teaching of God’s word. Even if it seems simple or repeats what we already know, preaching is important for our spiritual growth.

v. 21: He instructs, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21 ^b). We must test everything we hear by comparing it with God’s word. We should keep what is true and good, and not believe things just because someone says them (Hebrews 5:13–14 ^c).
