But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Contentiousness has no standing as an accepted practice among the congregations of God. The same teaching stands alongside the warning that coming together with divisions does not make the gathering better but worse. Within that divided condition, factions and false teachings serve to make evident those who are genuine and approved. The remedy is for church members to walk humbly with God in obedience and to live together in unity.
