What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 14:36 Go To 1 Corinthians 14
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
What! came the word of God out from you? This is a sarcasm, concluding what had been said in this chapter and the preceding. Did not the Churches of Judæa, Samaria, and Syria believe before you? Look, then, at the order and custom of those Churches, whether they are so contentious about their gifts or make such boasting of their tongues as you do. So Ambrose and Anselm.
