Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16 substantiates the assertion just made in ver. 15. Render, as in ver. 14, jealousy and faction. Ἀκαταστασία: confusion, of which God is not the author (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion.--Where emulation, zeal, and rivalry exist, there also are sedition, anarchy, restless disturbance, and every villainous act. The whole state is evil, and utterly contrary to the rule of the Gospel--"For words and names let angry zealots fight:Whose life is in the wrong can ne'er be right."
