Exegesis
The verb katēntēsen {κατήντησεν | katḗntēsen} “has reached” continues the metaphor of movement, now focusing on the arrival of the message rather than its source. The two contrasting prepositions aph “from” and eis “into” frame the Corinthians’ community as either origin or terminus of the divine message, which in context exposes their spiritual arrogance. In translation, preserving the paired rhetorical questions and the contrast between “go out from you” and “reach only you” maintains Paul’s ironic challenge and the sense that the word of God transcends any single congregation.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:36
Or did the word of God go out from you, or has it reached only you?
