Commentary on Acts 15:39
The 'contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder.' The Greek 'paroxysmos' (sharp disagreement) describes intense conflict. Even godly leaders can disagree strongly. Rather than force artificial unity, they separated into two missionary teams, doubling their gospel impact. God's sovereignty turns human conflict into kingdom advance.
