Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ introduces a second, parallel imperative diakrinetosan {διακρινέτωσαν | diakrinétōsan} ‘let them discern’, with the articular subject hoi alloi {οἱ ἄλλοι | hoi álloi} ‘the others’ functioning substantively to denote a distinct group who respond to, rather than give, prophecy. The use of two present active imperatives in the third person plural presents ongoing patterns of behavior: some are to speak while others are to evaluate, indicating a shared responsibility within the assembly. In English this is represented by two coordinated clauses with “let … speak” and “let … discern / carefully judge,” preserving the directive force and the balanced structure between prophetic utterance and corporate evaluation.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:29
But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others discern what is said.
