1 Corinthians 14:36

1 Corinthians 14:36

36Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

In this era and others, some will treat the scriptures arrogantly, thinking they are wiser than those before in their interpretations of the scripture. Paul is saying that they do not have the authority to change the word of God, that these things have been established. Paul, himself, is penning these words under the authority of being an apostle of the church and the words themselves are scripture, and earlier he says it is based on scripture and later he says it is based on the command of Lord. These words are not to be taken lightly.
