OET (OET-LV)Prophesies not be_scorning.

OET (OET-RV)Don’t scorn prophesies.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε

not /be/_scorning

Here Paul may be giving a specific example of his command not to “quench the Spirit” in 5:19. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this connection more explicit. Alternate translation: “Specifically, do not despise” or “For example, do not despise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε

not /be/_scorning

Paul is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning, despise. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “Honor” or “Respect”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:20-21 Prophecy, meant to build up the church (1 Cor 14:1-4), should not be rejected. Instead, the Thessalonians should test the prophecies (1 Cor 12:10; 14:29) to discern their origin, to check their agreement with the teaching of the apostles (2 Thes 2:2; 1 Jn 4:1-3), and to gauge the character of those who utter them (Matt 7:15-20). Early Christian teaching said, “Not everyone who speaks about spiritual things is a prophet, but only if the person’s conduct is like the Lord” (Didache 11:8). They should hold on to what is good—namely, prophecies that have been tested and found to be genuine.
