What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
Hold up, did God's message start with you guys? Are you seriously the only ones who get to hear from him?
Paul's calling out the Corinthians for acting like they're the main characters in God's story.
📚 Historical Context
In the first-century church at Corinth, there was significant disorder during worship services due to the misuse of spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues and prophecy. Paul wrote this letter to address these issues and emphasize that God's word did not originate from the Corinthians but was revealed for the whole church, challenging their potential arrogance. This rhetorical question serves to remind them of the universal application of divine instructions in maintaining order.
