1 Corinthians 14:36

From you. The church at Corinth was not the first, but one of the last, that Paul had founded. Hence that church was not in a position to prescribe rules of conduct for other churches, or to claim the right to differ from them. It was not alone in proclaiming the gospel; therefore it must give due consideration to generally accepted principles of behavior and procedure in worship. The Corinthian church had apparently adopted unusual customs, such as that of permitting women to appear in public services unveiled (see on ch. 11:5, 16) and to speak in the church in a way unknown to other churches.

They had allowed irregularity and confusion to exist in the church. But they had no right to differ from other churches in this way, nor had they any right to tell the other churches that they too should tolerate such confusion and disorder. They should have recognized their duty to conform to the practice of the general body of Christian churches.

You only. The Corinthian church was not the first to be established, neither was it the only one. Through His servants God was raising up churches in many lands. If one church had the right to originate customs and peculiar habits, others had also. If that idea were to be adopted, it would result in confusion and disorder. Therefore all the churches should adopt the same general plan for procedure in public worship, and customs that were not followed in other churches should not have been allowed at Corinth.
